Creative Sunraysia is excited to launch Talking Big Sunraysia, a new series of public conversations bringing big ideas, interesting people and important issues to our region.

Our first guest is acclaimed author, historian and political commentator Don Watson.

Drawing on a lifetime of observing and writing about America, Watson explores a nation built on soaring ideals and profound contradictions — its politics, culture, language, myths and enduring influence on Australia and the world.

With his characteristic wit, insight and sharp eye for the absurd, Watson asks what the changing face of the United States tells us about democracy, power and the times we are living through.
