After a year of consuming culture from our lounge rooms, it's refreshing to be able to step back into the buzz of a live festival.
The Sydney Writers' Festival is happening right now at Carriageworks, but if you can't be there, we've got you covered.
The Bookshelf went live, as hosts Cassie McCullagh and Kate Evans were joined by Anita Heiss, Emily Maguire and Rick Morton to mull over their ultimate reads.
And Conversations' Richard Fidler talked to journalist Sarah Dingle, who as an adult made a startling discovery about her own identity.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Law and Beverley Wang from pop-culture guide Stop Everything! sat down with Carly Findlay and Sam van Zweden to chat about their projects, passions and pleasures. We'll bring you the live recording next week.
For our friends in Perth, welcome out of lockdown. We hope there's no further outbreaks on the horizon, but are our quarantine hotels up to the job? Check out the discussion between Fran Kelly and Norman Swan.
Finally, Patricia Karvelas takes us inside Parliament's "sexist" culture and shares how a childhood tragedy shaped her, on ABC Backstory.
Whether you're at a festival or on your couch, we hope you enjoy this week's stories, insights and conversations.
