Things are Awesome in Western Australia as we’ll discover when our Perth correspondent, Helen Simondson from WA Museum Boola Bardip introduces her local guest artist, Jenny Simpson, CEO of Awesome Arts and Artistic Director of the Awesome Festival.

Daniel Nellor has been a guest of the show on more than one occasion but usually as a playwright… but Daniel also has a PhD in Philosophy. What’s that all about, I hear you ask and in answer to that question, Daniel has written a book – What Are They Thinking? Conversations with Ten Australian Philosophers…  and we’ll be having our own conversation about that book.

Meanwhile, in Geelong, we’re sneaking in right at the tail end of a four-week celebration to mark the opening of the brand new Geelong Arts Centre and CEO and Creative Director Joel McGuiness is here to tell us what we’ve missed but, more importantly, what’s still to come.

And finally, say hello to founder and Director of the Snuff Puppets, Andy Freer who’s here to tell us about Snuffest, a festival of giant puppets, large scale theatre, film, workshops and installations happening right now in Footscray.

They’re all on this week’s edition of Behind the Scenes with Chris Thompson right here on Vision Australia Radio.
