Remember When with Harvey Deegan

Anthea Hodgson - Author   *The Palace of Lost Virtue* In 1898, Marigold Harrington arrives on the goldfields of Western Australia with conviction in her heart. The daughter of a prospector and a proud member of the Christian Women’s Temperance Union, she dreams of rescuing women the gold rush has forgotten, those trapped in the shadows of brothels and bars. Across town, Pansy Arlington presides over the Palace of Pleasure, her own small empire built from ruin. When Marigold arrives at her door, offering God’s forgiveness, Pansy surprises her with unexpected kindness. The two women spark an unlikely friendship, but in a rough, lawless town built on greed and desire, their bond will be tested by betrayal, violence and a crime that will echo through the years. Inspired by true events and the real women of the gold rush, The Palace of Lost Virtue dares to rewrite history books, giving voice to the lives of the formidable women who lived and died in the goldfields. By the bestselling author of The War Nurses, this is a lively and colourful tale about loyalty, forgiveness and freedom. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Claes-Göran Wetterholm  More than 114 years after the Titanic slipped beneath the North Atlantic, the world’s most famous shipwreck is still lying to us.   The movies got it wrong, the textbooks glossed over it and the myths, from women and children first to third-class passengers being deliberately locked below deck, have become part of accepted history.   Now, one of the world’s foremost Titanic historians is setting the record straight.   Claes-Göran Wetterholm has spent decades studying the Titanic disaster. He has pored over survivor testimonies, maritime records, and artefacts that most people never see.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Daniel Reynaud SAILOR, SOLDIER, VICAR, FARMER The Improbable Life of Anzac Chaplain Walter Dexter   December 1915: a paunchy middle aged man walked the rugged ridges and gullies above Anzac Cove where, over the previous eight months, these hills and valleys had rung with rifle shots and shellfire, and the war cries and wounded shrieks of Turkish and British Empire soldiers. The man was dressed in the uniform of a captain in the Australian Imperial Force, but he was no fighting soldier. Instead, he wore the badges and dog-collar of a non-combatant military chaplain. As he went, he scattered Australian wattle seeds around the graves of hundreds of soldiers who had died in the heroic but misguided campaign, hoping to shade the dead under the canopy of their native trees. He had personally buried many of the men and put up the simple white wooden crosses – their names and unit painted on them in black. Walter Dexter was in the early stages of his fourth career. His complexion, gait, medal ribbons and dog-collar were evidence of his having already been a sailor, soldier and parish priest, and although only in his early 40s, he had more career changes ahead of him. By the end of this war, further bravery awards would mark him out as Australia’s most decorated chaplain, while his service from the beginning to the very end of the conflict made his record unique among Australian chaplains.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Margo O’Byrne Fenians Festival 2026  The 150th anniversary of the Catalpa escape - Australia’s most daring maritime prison break - is at the heart of the ‘Fenians Festival 2026’, from March 23 to 31. In 1876 the highly-planned escape and rescue resulted in six Irish political prisoners (Fenians) escaping from a convict work detail in Fremantle and making their way to a rendezvous with the Catalpa, an American whaling ship, near Rockingham. The Catalpa had sailed from America on a secret mission to rescue the men; so secret Captain George Anthony couldn’t even let his crew know the ship’s true goal. ‘Fenians Festival 2026’ offers a week of events including Irish music and poetry; international guests; a performance by Theatre 180; history talks, panel discussions and a Family Day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
