My Father's Wars Podcast YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr-vwIb8pUo&list=PLrqonDHggzO_2Du4ezRBHpHIni3XypvoO
Podcasts of My Father's Wars, created by Elaine Acworth, are now available on the QANZAC100 website. Elaine, a playwright and dramatist, was one of the State Library of Queensland’s 2015/2016 QANZAC100 Fellows, and developed these dramatic works based on her personal journey to discover the story of Bill Acworth – her father, and soldier of the two world wars. In addition to the QANZAC100 website, all five podcasts can be found on YouTube.
On 8 September 2015, Elaine spoke at State Library's Under the skin event, where she presented and discussed her research at that time, along with other QANZAC100 Fellows:

The My Father’s Wars podcasts were funded by the Queensland ANZAC Centenary Grants program and supported by the State Library of Queensland’s QANZAC 100: Memories for a New Generation project.
