Sharing the ideas and conversations of APAM 2016 on Radio National.
The ABC and APAM present OUTSIDE EYES - EXPANDING THE CONVERSATION WITH ABC'S RADIO NATIONAL
Various venues throughout APAM
In 2016 we are proud to partner with the ABC’s unique Radio National (RN) to bring the ideas of this year’s APAM to a wider audience.
RN's vision and purpose is to nurture the intellectual and cultural life of this country, and to be a vital part of the contemporary Australian conversation. Together we hope to make our APAM conversations more widely accessible to the greater creative community.
Hosts Paul Barclay and Sarah Kanowski will capture, contribute to and disseminate the pertinent conversations arising from the market – including APAM’s Welcoming Words and Talking Heads panel series – producing a series of podcasts available online after the event wraps up.
