Bad Diaries Podcast
Diving into the world of diaries – the good, the bad and everything in between.
Writers Jenny Ackland and Tracy Farr are fascinated by diaries: their own and other people’s. They’ve curated more than 20 Bad Diaries Salons across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand since 2017, and now have a podcast to keep the discussion going. Join them as they chat with each other and with some of the nearly 80 authors who have read at Bad Diaries Salons.
