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!

Professional communicator, writer and novelist, Michelle Prak, appeared on the show to talk about her debut crime novel, ‘The Rush’.
Topics discussed include:
- The genesis of ‘The Rush’ - including Michelle’s extensive travelling and road-tripping through some of the country’s remotest locations.
- The importance of getting the setting right - including the ‘character’ of the rain/flood - how Michelle went about doing this.
- The nature of trust - as applied to random people thrust together.
- The gut instinct(s) we feel - trusting/being suspicious of someone - how our gut instincts and first impressions can be wrong. Or how ignoring our gut instincts can be to our detriment!
- And so much more!
Thanks heaps to Michelle for discussing all things ‘The Rush’ with me on the program.
