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!

Former journalist and writer, Michael Brissenden discussed his latest novel, ‘Dust’ with me on the show.
Topics included:
- How Dust came to be - its real-world, real location inspiration.
- Communities turning on one another during a crisis - how the finger-pointing/blame-shifting can happen so quickly and how factions can form so easily.
- The role media and media coverage plays, even in small, local community issues and what lasting, widespread impact it can have.
- Forms of self-radicalisation and how they are shown in the novel.
- And a ton more!
Thanks be to Michael for discussing Dust with me on the show!
