From Monday October 9, 7am’s latest special series, The fight for a Voice, will work to provide an in-depth guide to understanding the referendum.
Hosted by award-winning Yorta Yorta writer and broadcaster Daniel James, the week-long narrative series will unpack key questions concerning the Voice. Throughout the week, James will interview players from both sides of the Voice debate, including Marcia Langton, Lidia Thorpe, Megan Davis, Thomas Mayo, Julian Leeser and others.
The series will explain the history of the Voice proposal, the cases for and against, and the impact the referendum will have on the country.
“A moment as significant as this referendum requires us to serve our audience better than ever and to bring them quality independent journalism they can trust,” editor of 7am Scott Mitchell said. “This series will give our audience the context and history, and bring them the stories of the people who have spent their lives driving towards this vote – both those campaigning for it and against it.”
Schwartz Media’s editor-in-chief, Erik Jensen, says: “Daniel James’s work stands out for its empathy, its intelligence and its capacity to distill complex and sometimes competing views – all of which he brings to this 7am series.”
Prior to this series, 7am’s Voice coverage has included interviews with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Patrick Dodson, Rachel Perkins and more.
7am is available on Apple, Spotify, LiSTNR and all other podcast apps.
