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.
