BEDTIME STORY: Bea Miles 01 May 2026

Step into the restless, unpredictable streets of old Sydney and meet the woman who became one of its most unforgettable legends. Bea Miles was a bohemian rebel, a brilliant mind, and a force of nature who refused to live by anyone else’s rules.From quoting Shakespeare on street corners to taking on taxi drivers, police, and social expectations, her life was as chaotic as it was fascinating. But beneath the headlines and eccentricity was a deeply intelligent, widely read woman searching for freedom in a world that struggled to understand her.This Nightline Bedtime Story, every weeknight, written and read by Cheralyn Darcey, invites you to drift into the story of a life lived boldly, imperfectly, and entirely on its own terms.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
