    • Two of Australia’s most charismatic change makers — Nakkiah Lui and Miranda Tapsell — have teamed up for Debutante: taking the humble and at times controversial colonial export of the deb ball and seeing if it passes the pub test in today’s multi-faceted world. Diving into their Aboriginal roots, the pair grapple with what a traditional debutante ball says about female empowerment and race in the 21st century. They’ll discover what this occasion means in terms of etiquette, but more importantly, how First Nations women across the globe feel about the pomp and ceremony and why they have decided to make this tradition their own. Thought-provoking, empowering and very funny, Lui and Tapsell have once again shown they have the knack of taking a simple concept and delving deep to discover more about the histories, the stories and the people that sit at its core.

Do be warned — some of the themes covered in No Gangsters in Paradise aren’t for all ages, but if you’re interested in the details of Sydney’s gangland past, this Audible Original is for you.

    • Marc Fennell has been a busy man behind the podcast mic. His smash-hit series It Burns goes to the flaming heart of the world’s hottest chillies. You’d think it would be a pretty simple finding out the spicy stuff, but you’d be wrong. In typical Fennell conversational style, It Burns moves past just working out which pepper is the pepper-iest, and instead focuses on how people use pain to shape themselves, define themselves and make themselves feel alive. What you’ll find is a story that transcends borders and finds itself teetering on the edge of part farming, part endurance sport. You’ll never look at a chilli the same again after listening to these five episodes on Audible.

Enjoy a full cast of voice performers and a sonic wall of sound effects in this comedy action series — plus having Shaun Micallef’s narrations scattered through the episodes makes it pretty cruisy listening, too.
