Episode Synopsis

To mark the 200th edition of The Monthly, the editor of the magazine, Michael Williams, joins us – to read a piece by the late-Mungo Maccallum from the debut issue nearly 20 years ago.Mungo was a totally unique character of Australian journalism – once described by Gough Whitlam a "tall, bearded descendant of lunatic aristocrats" – he could deftly bounce from the funny and odd to the great stories and issues of our times.We very much hope you enjoy us revisiting his first essay for The Monthly: ‘From nation to now’Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and InstagramSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
