About this listen

Recorded live at the Sydney Writers’ Festival on 23 May 2025, I sat down with composer and writer Andrew Ford to discuss our latest books — The Shortest History of Music (Ford) and The Shortest History of Economics (Leigh).

We explored how to distil complex subjects without losing their essence and why brevity can still hold truth.
