On Friday, September 12, the UNE Life Student Awards were held at the Armidale campus where Mrs Finn accepted the TuneFM Program of the Year Award. The podcast explored the stories, novels, poetry and articles of Australian women from the first 150 years of the colonial period that were published in newspapers. To capture the attitude towards women’s writing during the colonial period, she titled the podcast Firestarters: Rescuing Australian Women’s Newspaper Writing From The Kindling Pile. Mrs Finn said the podcast formed organically as she searched for works by Australian women and found they were few and far between. Mrs Finn said the project had been rewarding, and hoped it would inspire others to carry out their own research.
