The Talking Words Podcast

The authors have been writing them, we’ve been reading them and now, let’s talk about them.

Hello! My name is Olivia O’Flynn. I come from a background of performance; theatre, film and television (not to mention the thousands of Ned Kelly re-enactments I forced my parents to watch as a child.) Yet my passion has always been literature. Words are my favourite thing. They’re toys to play with, weapons to wield and have the ability to whisk me away for hours at a time. When the opportunity arose to create a podcast with the veritable literary icon that is Better Read Than Dead, I leapt at it. This was the perfect way to blend my skill set as a performer with my love of books. It’s, dare I say, almost a selfish endeavour; I get to ask people who I have admired for years about their careers and their relationship with reading and writing. All the while doing the thing I love most: Talking Words. Over the first season I interview six brilliant, innovative authors about their lives and careers. From living in a quasi-Buddhist cult to attending high school surrounded by barbed wire, from fighting law reforms to incorporating pattern thinking into our everyday, this season has something for everybody. We champion the creative process and celebrate storytelling in all its unrefined glory. I cannot wait to share with you all of the insightful, breathtaking and humorous interviews I had the pleasure of hosting.

Join me on the 23rd of October where you’ll find me doing my favourite thing, Talking Words.

Olivia
