Due to changing circumstances, The Rereaders team have ceased episode production, and have consequently had to cancel this live episode recording and event. The Rereaders regret not being able to celebrate their 100th episode milestone with you and apologise for any inconvenience or disappointment caused as a result.
Since July 2011, fortnightly podcast The Rereaders has been giving local and international culture a second reading: one that’s smart, detailed and convivial.
Hosted by Mel Campbell and Dion Kagan, with a rotating roster of guest hosts, the Rereaders‘ cultural diet is rich and varied – though not always nutritious – covering a satisfying mix of subjects from books to architecture to TV to fashion and consumer trends. Whether they’re discussing Pokémon Go, Brett Whiteley or the work of Frank Moorhouse, the Rereaders offer fresh, funny and informed commentary and plenty of recommendations.
To celebrate their 100th episode, they’ll record a bumper episode live at the Wheeler Centre. Join Campbell and Kagan and special guests, including critic Sonia Nair and editor Adolfo Aranjuez, as they grapple, quarrel and crack wise.
