Plus: The 2024 ABC Boyer Lectures
| | Mormonism, swing states and the race to the finish line |
|
With less than a week to go before the US election, we're bringing you coverage from experts, commentators and specialists across the political spectrum. Learn why the Democrats are courting the Mormon vote, with this fascinating segment from The Religion and Ethics Report. The chairman of the American Conservative Union Matt Schlapp talks to Saturday Extra about his vision for the country and the GOP. And tune into Big Ideas' new series, SOS Democracy, for an insight into populism through an Irish lens with author and columnist Fintan O'Toole. We're also thrilled to bring you the first of four ABC Boyer Lectures, which was presented live at the ABC this week. Director of the Elder Conservatorium of Music at the University of Adelaide and award-winning pianist and writer Anna Goldsworthy shared her experiences of classical music, from first falling in love with it as a child to her thoughts on inspiring the next generation of musicians. Follow the Boyer Lectures on the ABC listen app to hear from three other brilliant classical musicians in the coming weeks. And finally, some news from us at Radio National. Award-winning journalist Sally Sara has been announced as the new presenter of Radio National Breakfast in 2025. "I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to join the Radio National Breakfast team. I can't wait," Sally says. While we will miss Patricia Karvelas, who is moving on to pursue other roles at the ABC, we're excited to welcome Sally in the new year. |
