The Upswell podcast operates in the city of Perth, on ancient country of the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation who remain the spiritual and cultural custodians of this beautiful land. We acknowledge their continuing connection to country and express gratitude to elders past and present for their strength and creativity. Each month we invite an Upswell author to come and have an open conversation about their work, and how it ties in with ideas about literature, culture, and beyond. The Upswell podcast is not just about the books we are publishing, but is interested in the whole sphere of the arts and cultural activities, the social, and the political. The music used in this podcast is Mark Isaacs's composition "Have one more" played by Simon Tedeschi, for the ABC recording "Tender Earth".

"Blackout" - A Conversation with Rachel Coad

In this episode, Meesha Williams talks to Rachel Coad about her upcoming graphic novel - or 'long comic' - New York City Glow.

Meesha and Rachel get to talking about the origins of the book's two main characters: an Octopus who loves punk music and a snake who works in insurance; the process of putting together the book's accompanying playlist "Strawberry's Mix"; and the parallels and differences between creating comics and working in other art forms, such as portraiture.

The music in this episode is Mark Isaacs's composition "Have one more" played by Simon Tedeschi, for the ABC recording "Tender Earth".
