Adelaide Writers’ Week is set to break new ground this March with the addition of Podfest, a fresh initiative bringing live recordings of some of Australia’s most celebrated podcasts to the stage.

Covering topics from true crime to literature and politics, Podfest runs from March 1 to 6, 2025, at the Adelaide Town Hall and Torrens Parade Ground Drill Hall.

The lineup promises something for everyone, with podcasting heavyweights like Hedley Thomas and Rachael Brown diving into the complexities of true crime, and Yumi Stynes leading an inspiring conversation on living boldly. Meanwhile, Julia Baird and Jeremy Fernandez tackle the week’s news with their signature mix of sharp insights and light-hearted banter.

“Podfest is an exciting addition that reflects how people are engaging with storytelling in new ways,” says Monique Bowley, Podfest’s curator and one of Australia’s most respected podcast producers.

“It’s a chance for audiences to connect with their favourite podcasters and explore thought-provoking ideas live.”

With ticket prices ranging from $29 to $39, Podfest offers an accessible entry point to Adelaide Writers’ Week, whether you’re a die-hard podcast fan or new to the genre.

Adelaide Writers’ Week runs as part of the Adelaide Festival from 28 February to 16 March.
