Meet the Mavericks - Season 3

Season 3
In Series 3 of Meet the Mavericks, we meet musicians, filmmakers, theatre makers, installation artists, rappers, writers, comedians, and all round troublemakers. Each episode brings together two creative talents for an inspiring conversation about how they see the world, what drives them, what enrages them, and how they channel that passion into their work.
Whether from the same field or completely different areas of art and culture, these mavericks quiz each other and compare notes about their creative lives, giving the audience a deeper insight into the minds of the people who challenge and shape our cultural landscape.
Each week we meet a different pair of mavericks for a freewheeling and intimate conversation; the late-great satirist John Clarke sits down with pioneering British comedian turned author Alexei Sayle, ARIA-winning musician Missy Higgins jams with banjo-wielding comedian Anne Edmonds, rapper and comedian Adam Briggs and Grammy award-nominee Courtney Barnett talk about their fears of performing, theatre director Wesley Enoch talks about identity with British video artist Isaac Julien, and all-singing and performing Eddie Perfect meets writer and slam-poet Maxine Beneba Clarke to compare notes on growing up in the suburbs.

World War II with Tom Hanks
For eighty years, the Second World War has remained the most devastating and defining conflict in human history. World War II with Tom Hanks is a landmark documentary event that reexamines the war through the lens of a new century. Told over twenty hours and guided by Tom Hanks, whose lifelong passion for this history has shaped some of the most profound screen portrayals of the era, the series captures the full arc of the war — from the rise of fascism in Europe to the fall of Berlin, from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, and the uneasy peace that follows. Each episode uncovers new dimensions of the conflict: the decisions that shaped the battlefield, the unseen networks that sustained the war effort, and the aftershocks that still shape our world today. "World War II with Tom Hanks" is the definitive retelling of that story for a new generation: a sweeping, deeply human portrait of how the modern world was forged in the fires of global war.
