11-02-2026 - Being Present (While Acknowleging the Past)
In this final show, you'll hear an in-depth, insightful, joyous conversation with 2026 Burns Fellow, Rachel O'Neill, a filmmaker/poet/writer/artist who constantly strives to convey the humour, candidness, and (downright) strangeness of the human experience in their work.
You'll also learn why Listening and Solitude are cornerstones of Rachel's creative practice, and the specific projects she'll be progressing here in Dunedin

Beverly shares the highs (and lows) of her Summer reading, particularly two fantastic tomes written by, and for, writers: 'Writers on Writing' (ed. by Roberts, Mitchell, Zubrinich - pub. by Penguin Australia 2002) and 'Word Monkey' Christopher Fowler's final poignant, tangential, acerbic memoir (pub by Penguin UK 2023)
Then we celebrate the upcoming Otepoti launch (on 29th of January) of the NZ Poetry Society's latest anthology 'There Are Rabbits Here' with local poets Jackson and Jasmine Taylor who also read some of the poems therein.
