David Carlin & Peta Murray in conversation

from Outspoken Maleny Hosted by Steven Lang

This is a book of great contemplation… inviting us into tricky and uncertain territory… places we generally shy away from. Its dual voices unfold along parallel and intersecting tracks, charting the complex dance steps of Father/Daughter, Mother/Son, as they try on different roles. Weaving memory, anecdote and reflection the book asks what it takes to live a meaningful life all the way to the finish line. Witty, cutting, meaningful, delightful. David Carlin’s previous books include Our Father Who Wasn’t There, The Abyssinian Contortionist, and The After-Normal. Peta Murray is known for plays Wallflowering, and Salt.

Prepare to be challenged, informed and inspired! Finding Raffi iHeartPodcasts and Fatherly Raffi Cavoukian is a magical musician. His songs, like “Baby Beluga” and “Down by the Bay,” have wordplay and rhyme schemes that are as crowd-pleasing as they come — sweet, silly sing-alongs for kids and adults alike. But his work is anything but simple. Much like the folk singers who inspired him, a radical philosophy underscores all that he does. In "Finding Raffi,” comedian, writer, and podcaster Chris Garcia takes us on a journey through a 10-part series tracing Raffi’s life from aspiring folk singer to international kids’ superstar to outspoken activist for climate action and a child-centric world. Produced in partnership with Rococo Punch.
