Hello, my name is Marieke Hardy and I’m Going To Die. But that’s ok, because so are you. And so is everybody you know, including - and trust me, I’m as conflicted about this as you are - your dog. It’s confronting, especially in the brutal world we’re all doing our best to survive, but I believe there’s something important about this universal experience we’re all having together that worth interrogating. Join me as I speak to a variety of interesting, beautiful, imperfect humans (who are definitely going to die) and help them plan their dream funerals as they reflect on their lives, their longings, and how best to navigate this intense ride.

YUMI STYNES IS GOING TO DIE
Yumi Stynes is an author and broadcaster who has been making stuff for more than 20 years. She hosts the amazing podcast Ladies, We Need To Talk and co-authored the best-selling Welcome To series of guidebooks.
Yumi’s also a survivor. Because, frankly, she’s had to be. In this occasionally intense and very broad-ranging conversation, Yumi unpacks not only the thoughts she's given to her Dream Funeral but also what it is to navigate torrid and devastating upheavals in both public and private life.
TW: Mental health, violence, suicide.

Omar Sakr: Poetry In The Genocide
OMAR SAKR: POETRY IN THE GENOCIDE
Omar Sakr is a poet and writer born in Western Sydney to Lebanese and Turkish Muslim migrants. He is an acclaimed, award-winning author and the first Arab-Australian Muslim to win the Prime Minister’s Literary Award. He is also - like the rest of the world - bearing witness to genocide. So where does art and poetry find its place amidst a horrifying and ongoing massacre? And what does it cost activists to keep showing up when staying silent is not an option?
