Summary: In Watsonia, decades of Don Watson’s writing – history and journalism, reflections and fragments – have been gathered together for the first time, providing a snapshot of a writer and of a nation. Rick Morton (My Year Of Living Vulnerably) joins Don to discuss the real radical position in politics, bringing back knighthoods, the republic movement, snakes, mateship and not being a public intellectual, as well as the many speeches, essays, books and words that he’s devoted himself to as part of making sense of the world.
