There are so many announcements of new programs and projects in the Pacific these days but how much impact and influence do all the efforts actually bring? University of Adelaide Professor Joanne Wallis sends writer and podcaster Gordon Peake on a quest to find out. He talks with academics, policy makers and a senior East Timorese minister to discover that, for all the mechanistic and bloodless language of diplomacy and aid, this is a profoundly human story.  
With Joanne Wallis, Bridi Rice, Hugh White, Fidelis Magalhaes and the Agora Food Studio, Dili.
