Madison Griffiths at Newcastle Writers Festival

28 - 29 March 2026

Democracy, But Make it Downloadable

As podcasts replace newspapers and nightly bulletins, Madison Griffiths, Clare Stephens, and Cam Wilson examine how audio consumption is reshaping political understanding. Who sets the agenda, how is trust built, and what happens to journalistic accountability when news arrives via earbuds on demand? Hosted by Kylie Morris.

Speaking Truth to Power - Sunday 29 March 2:30pm

Join Madison Griffiths and Sonia Orchard for a fearless conversation about power, control, and the urgent act of reclaiming your voice. Drawing on memoir, research, social commentary, and storytelling, they examine the realities of gendered power and explore the silences that shape — and too often constrain — women’s lives. Hosted by Magdalena Ball.
