Join three memoirists who have tackled difficult and taboo topics – ranging from grief and trauma to the challenges of motherhood and alcoholism – and found beauty, humour and even redemption by telling it exactly like it is.

Lech Blaine’s Car Crash is a heart-wrenching and darkly comic story of perseverance in the face of unthinkable tragedy. Ashe Davenport’s Sad Mum Lady is a savagely amusing memoir of motherhood and depression. Comedian Fiona O’Loughlin’s Truths from an Unreliable Witness chronicles a secret addiction to alcohol with gallows humour.

The trio join interviewer and moderator Michaela Kalowski for a deeply moving yet humorous conversation about making monsters dance and muffling their voices between the pages of a book.

Please note, this episode contains discussion of sensitive topics such as suicidal thoughts and sexual assault.
