Tramlines: A love letter to Melbourne

Join host Mel Cranenburgh in conversation with The Age’s Arts Editor Elizabeth Flux, award-winning podcast producer Beth Atkinson-Quinton and beloved YA author Nova Weetman for a night of storytelling and a deep dive into the craft of creating audio stories.

Celebrating Naarm/Melbourne’s unique tram network, ‘Tramlines’ is a new podcast produced by Melbourne’s City of Literature Office and curated by a multitude of creative participants, producers, writers and musicians. Making use of the location, time and sounds from the tramline to create a work which is part audio book, part spoken word and part locative literature, this unique event will change the way you think about public transport – and what you listen to while riding. Presented in partnership with The Melbourne City of Literature Office.

Tramlines - the podcast series will be launched weekly, from 8 May 2023 available to all on Spotify, Apple, Google and via the City of Literature website.

Tickets: Free / $5 / $10
