Episode 101: Historian with Professor Clare Wright

Welcome to Kids Pod, a podcast where kids get to ask adults the questions they really want to know. Nothing is too rude to ask. You send in the questions and our adults will give kids the answers they want to hear. Professor Clare Wright really loves history. She has written four books, is Professor of History at La Trobe University and this year she was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia. In particular she has written a book for young adults called We Are the Rebels: The Women and Men Who Made Eureka which is an abridged version of The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka which won the Stella Prize. We are very lucky to welcome her today on Kids Pod. To send us your questions for future episodes, contact us at aimeechan.com. We also ask that you please subscribe so you don't miss any future episodes of Kids Pod. And to help other people to find us and spread the word, we would love it if you would give Kids Pod a 5 star rating and share our link with your friends.  Kids Pod was created by Aimee Chan. Intro by Niki Strauss. Cover art by Glen Strauss. Narration by Joshua Sandral.  If your parents would like to hear more from Clare Wright, they can see her at the Write Around the Murray festival online on Saturday 12 September where she will be speaking with a panel of other historians and writers. Special thanks to Clare Wright, Levi, Eli, Charlotte and Harry. Thanks for listening.
