The Weekend Read: Michael Williams on The Monthly’s 200th edition
Episode 973
Published 2 years, 8 months ago
Description
To mark the 200th edition of The Monthly, the editor of the magazine, Michael Williams, joins us – to read a piece by the late-Mungo Maccallum from the debut issue nearly 20 years ago.
Mungo was a totally unique character of Australian journalism – once described by Gough Whitlam a "tall, bearded descendant of lunatic aristocrats" – he could deftly bounce from the funny and odd to the great stories and issues of our times.
We very much hope you enjoy us revisiting his first essay for The Monthly: ‘From nation to now’
