Author and screenwriter Christian White, joined me to talk about his latest novel, ‘The Long Night’.
Topics discussed included:
- The suitably spooky origins and scenario that lead to ‘The Long Night’.
- Stone Tape Theory and how we are tethered by trauma and stories to certain physical places/spaces.
- Seeing the world and a scenario through the eyes of a creative. Em with her horror buff lens, Jodie with her painting.
- Horror - the freedom it affords Christian/creatives and how it allows us to tell relatable and realistic stories.
- Types of fear explored within the novel - from those typically found within a horror novel (the unknown lurking in the dark, a masked attacker) to those found within normal/everyday lives (male aggression, abused becoming abusers, related intergenerational trauma).
- And heaps more!
Thanks so much to Christian for talking with me about ‘The Long Night’ and everything else!

Journalist and novelist, Ali Lowe, joined me to discuss her latest novel, ‘The School Run’.
Topics discussed include:
- The real-world inspo for ‘The School Run’.
- St Ignatius Boys’ School - what such an institution represents to these characters and how they can find themselves willing to do anything - anything at all - in order to secure a spot for their child in such a place.
- The similarities between parent and child - how parents can be hard and harsh on their child out of fear that they are seeing mini versions of themselves.
- Obligations. How promises and the keeping of them can define and drive characters.
- And a ton more!
Thanks very much to Ali for talking with me about ‘The School Run’ on the show.
