It’s complete carnage as Clare and Yves attempt to wrangle the phenomenon that is journalist, editor, historian, screenwriter, novelist and award-winning author Mark Dapin into the Archive Fever hot seat to discuss his latest venture in investigative crime writing, Carnage. We talk about growing up Jewish and working-class in a British army town, the stratified landscape of male violence, The Troubles, Chinese restaurants, what happens when your archives can shoot you in the knees and why researching true crime is the archival equivalent of crack cocaine. A wild and hilarious ride.

Clare Wright Is Shutting Up and Listening
Historian and author Professor Clare Wright’s award-winning work is about righting the wrongs of Australian history.

A legend walks into the studio, as Yves and Clare are joined by queer royalty, Joan Nestle. In 1974, Joan founded the Lesbian Herstory Archives in her home in New York. Fifty years later, Yves and Clare ask: how DO you start an archive from scratch, especially when so much of the history you are documenting has been lived underground? Why are archives the counter-narrative to a nation’s institutional history? Can an archival collection be both narrowly defined and broadly inclusive? How did a hundred women end up on Joan’s bed?

The dates matter, as numbers of Palestinian casualties grow and the genocide in Gaza continues to unfold. Where did Antony’s instinct to be an irritant germinate?
