Government & Organisations, Literature, National, News & Politics, Sexuality, Society & Culture, TV & Film, Visual Arts

We have a chat with Melbourne gay author Christos Tsiolkas about the hit ABC series Barracuda. After the success of The Slap, his following work Barracuda looks at the class divide, sexuality and competing to be the best.

Then we talk to Tiernan Brady who recently arrived in Australia, about his experiences and involvement in the Yes campaign for Marriage Equality in Ireland. Was the campaign over there ugly, divisive or was it smooth sailing?
