PodcastIn this episode, you’ll hear Tim Winton’s 2024 lecture, Exiles at Home: what our contempt for nature is costing us.

His books have been translated into 29 languages and won numerous awards including the Miles Franklin Literary Award four times and he has twice been shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Tim is also the writer, narrator, and executive producer of the nature documentary series Ningaloo that screened around the world in 2023. Tim lives in Western Australia.
