Mike Williams (Marrickville, NSW) makes fast, irreverent, and unmistakably Australian audio documentaries.
His work has been broadcast internationally and recognised by Transom, Third Coast Festival, and Hearsay Audio Festival. He’s experimented extensively in live storytelling at venues ranging from a local sausage restaurant to the Sydney Opera House. Mike spent over a decade at the ABC launching or leading ambitious audio projects across Radio National (RN Drive, Long Story Short), Double J (The J Files, Inside The Big Day Out), triple j (Hottest 100, One Night Stand) and ABC Audio Studios (The Real Thing). He even documented trying to learn how to do a backflip (spoiler, he couldn’t do it). He now works as Head of Entertainment and Culture at LiSTNR, supporting the teams behind some of Australia’s biggest podcasts.
