supports and sustains himself through his creative work, including a live studio performance of Kim playing an original composition on guitar.
Throughout Episode 1, listeners will be further delighted by interludes from Songs of
Disappearance, an album of Australian bird calls (released by The Bowerbird Collective and
Birdlife Australia) which was created to draw attention to endangered and threatened species of Australian birds.
