Radio segments and interviews

In 2008 I was invited to contribute a few stories to the community radio show, Diffusion.

Diffusion is recorded in the studios of radio station 2SER (Sydney Educational Radio) and is broadcast through about 17 community radio stations throughout Australia. It also broadcasts internationally via podcasting. Diffusion (formerly "Discovery") has been running for over 10 years.

In 2017 I spoke with Helen Shield from ABC Radio regarding the Tasmanian tiger hair project and the discovery of a new photo of the Mullins family group of thylacines.
