Have you heard about the newest CPAS podcast, To Be Continued? It is an easy and entertaining way to learn more about the popular stories of yesteryear. The ANU To Be Continued project uncovers lost literary fiction – from bushrangers to Australian ghost stories and children’s fiction – in Australian newspapers digitised by the National Library of Australia’s Trove database.

Rishika Nair, a 2023 CPAS-Engaged ANU student intern, explored the power of podcasts for communicating scholarly research and knowledge using this podcast, ultimately developing a short video narrative to accompany this project. Drawing on historical material (provided by the To Be Continued team) and AI-generated images (created based on keywords from the actual stories), Rishika produced a pilot promotional video around “Ghosts and Australian Gothic”.
