Sarah Dingle - Brave New Humans

Today’s guest is Sarah Dingle, a dual Walkley Award-winning investigative reporter and presenter with the ABC, working across radio and TV current affairs, news and documentary. Her work has won the UN’s Media Peace Prize and the Voiceless Media Prize and her radio documentaries have been recognised by the Australian Human Rights Commission, Amnesty International and the National Press Club. Sarah is the author of the incredible book we’re talking about today, Brave New Humans: The Dirty Reality of Donor Conception published by Hardie Grant Books in 2021. The book is an astonishing real-life whodunnit and investigative expose revealing the uncomfortable realities of assisted reproduction and its human fallout. It also chronicles Sarah’s experience as a donor conceived person.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and the many lands that our clients now live on and we wish to acknowledge and show our respects to Elders past and present for their continuing connection to culture and the contributions they make to community. We acknowledge how much we have to learn from them and their unique understanding of connection and adoption and their recognition that at the base of every change is truth telling and healing.
