Australian History - SBS French - Podcast Series
I have been invited by SBS French to create podcasts on aspects of Australian History. This podcast series started in 2022 and is ongoing. It is popular, and episodes are available on SBS French, on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
The aim of the series is to disseminate Australian history and historiography across the French-speaking world by covering aspects of Australian history deemed little known by, and/or interesting to, French speakers. Topics are proposed by SBS journalist Grégory Plesse and I provide content for the series.
