We are excited to announce the release of Griffith Review’s and the Library’s podcast for Griffith Review 69: The European Exchange. The European Exchange explores the deep and complex relationships between Europe and Australia and discusses how Australians of many backgrounds have contributed to a longstanding dialogue that enriches both continents. 

In conversation with co-editor Ashley Hay, the podcast features:
