Episode Synopsis


For 25 years Michael Cathcart has been presenting arts and culture shows on Radio National, bringing listeners stories and conversations with writers, performers, musicians, poets and playwrights, from across Australia and the world. On our second-final ever Stage Show, Michael revisits some of his most memorable interviews. From authors Salman Rushdie and Esther Freud, to playing the organ at the Melbourne Town Hall, Philip Glass, Genevive Lacey, Audra McDonald, a special performance of Macbeth in Noongar language. And an encounter with horse riding mother-and-daughter Gladys and Quitta Docking, on the road for Bush Telegraph.
