Description

Two major prizes — The Prime Minister's Literary Award and the Queensland Literary Awards — have announced their choices over the last week, adding an exciting new pile of books to the must-read pile that we're all trying to work our way through. We meet two of the authors who are being recognised: Krystal Sutherland, winner of the Prime Minister's Award for Young Adult Literature for The Invocations; and Laura Elvery, winner of the People's Choice Award at the Queensland Literary Awards for Nightingale.

And what impact does sound have on the way we experience a generated world? Pete Ward is the Audio Director for MachineGames, who were behind one of the biggest games of the last year: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. He's also one of the guests at High Score, a conference at the Melbourne International Games Week this weekend.

Our track of the week is Big Feet, Bigger Shoes by Abby Wallace.
