    Yumi Stynes Is Going To Die
    May 5 2025

    YUMI STYNES IS GOING TO DIE


    Yumi Stynes is an author and broadcaster who has been making stuff for more than 20 years. She hosts the amazing podcast Ladies, We Need To Talk and co-authored the best-selling Welcome To series of guidebooks.


    Yumi’s also a survivor. Because, frankly, she’s had to be. In this occasionally intense and very broad-ranging conversation, Yumi unpacks not only the thoughts she's given to her Dream Funeral but also what it is to navigate torrid and devastating upheavals in both public and private life.


    TW: Mental health, violence, suicide.

  • Omar Sakr: Poetry In The Genocide

    Omar Sakr: Poetry In The Genocide
    Apr 20 2025
    OMAR SAKR: POETRY IN THE GENOCIDEOmar Sakr is a poet and writer born in Western Sydney to Lebanese and Turkish Muslim migrants. He is an acclaimed, award-winning author and the first Arab-Australian Muslim to win the Prime Minister’s Literary Award. He is also - like the rest of the world - bearing witness to genocide. So where does art and poetry find its place amidst a horrifying and ongoing massacre? And what does it cost activists to keep showing up when staying silent is not an option?Instagram (IG @OmarSakrPoet)Australia Palestine Advocacy Network Amnesty International: Unstoppable Melbourne Activist Legal SupportNFP Law - campaigns or protestsMarieke Hardy Is Going To Die is a podcast made by Marieke Hardy (IG @marieke_hardy).You can follow at IG @GoingToDiePodMusic by Lord Fascinator (IG @lordfascinator)Produced by Darren Scarce (IG @Dazz26)Video edits by Andy Nedelkovski (IG @AndyNeds)Artwork by Lauren Egan (IG @heylaurenegan)Photography by Eamon Leggett (IG @anxietyoptions)With thanks to Amelia Chappelow (IG @ameliachappelow)Camilla McKewen (IG @CamillaLucyLucy)and Rhys Graham (IG @RhysJGraham)Drop an email to mariekehardyisgoingtodie@gmail.comWhilst acknowledging the privilege that comes with having the space to discuss death and mortality, we want to also recognise that discussing these topics can raise some wounds.

    GENEVIEVE MORRIS IS GOING TO DIE


    Comedian, actor, and all-round excellent human, Genevieve Morris has been a familiar face on Australian screens and stages for a many years. In 2017 she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma, forcing her to pull out of a starring role in a comedy series and do some pretty major re-assessing of her life.

  • Montaigne Is Going To Die

    Montaigne Is Going To Die
    Apr 6 2025

    MONTAIGNE IS GOING TO DIE


    Pop royalty, twitcher, songwriter, activist, artist. Montaigne released their first album, Glorious Heights, in 2016 and won Breakthrough Artist in the ARIA awards that same year. Their third album, Making It! ‘explored relationships, death, the universe and the anxieties of modern life’ and their latest music - self-produced after liberating themselves from corporate management - goes deep into family trauma and survival. Montaigne has been open about both their creative practice and their mental health over the years - so what does this free-thinking, articulate maker have planned for their own Dream Funeral?

    VIRGINIA TRIOLI IS GOING TO DIE


    Virginia Trioli is presenter of Creative Types on ABC TV and a former co-host of ABC News Breakfast and host of Mornings on ABC Radio Melbourne. A two-time Walkley Award winner, she spent nine years as a news reporter, features writer, and columnist in Melbourne. Her new book A Bit on the Side: Reflections on What Makes Life Delicious is a gorgeous interrogation of food and memory, but Virginia's not afraid to tackle weightier matters of death and grief. And she's put a lot of thought into what her Dream Funeral may look like....

    Mar 14 2025

    BRUCE PASCOE IS GOING TO DIE

He has published 36 books including Dark Emu, which won the NSW Premier’s Award for Literature in 2016. Bruce is a deep thinker and so articulate about what it is to bear witness to the cycles of life and death in the natural world, and what he feels about his own legacy…and how much there’s still left to achieve.
