🌙 Nightline Bedtime Story Podcast

Tonight, we settle into the long, restless, extraordinary life of Dame Mary Gilmore.

Poet. Teacher. Activist. Radical. Patriot.

Mary Gilmore lived for almost a century and spent it speaking up when silence was easier. From bush classrooms to strike lines, from utopian dreams in Paraguay to fierce poetry shaped by war, loss, and injustice, she believed words were meant to do something.

This is a slow, flowing Nightline Bedtime Story about a woman who never stopped paying attention. A writer who gave away her royalties, argued with governments, championed workers, women, and Aboriginal Australians, and aged into influence rather than retreat.

Settle in for a reflective journey through a life that helped shape Australia’s conscience and still asks us uncomfortable questions today.

Perfect listening for late night reflection, history lovers, poetry fans, and anyone who believes one voice, used bravely over a lifetime, can still matter.
