AFTRS Lockdown Podcast

 

AFTRS Lockdown is a podcast series made to emulate the ‘quick chat’ that occurs in the corridors at AFTRS, or while you’re waiting for your coffee or chai latte at the café. You never really know what it will be, or where it will go – but it still feels nice, and helps you feel connected to our AFTRS community.

Hosts Taylor Litton-Strain and Robbie Miles are a couple of tutors from the Bachelor of Arts Screen Production program, who are seasoned experts in talking nonsense, getting sidetracked and giving unsolicited advice.

Join them each week as they tackle a topic related to screen content. And tune in for special guest interviews, of which there will be plenty.

Then, send Taylor and Robbie your feedback – they love feedback, especially when it contains ideas for future episodes. Email Taylor.Litton-Strain@aftrs.edu.au or Robbie.Miles@aftrs.edu.au (or both).
