BriefExplanation
2015 marked the centenary of ANZAC Day – a national holiday that commemorates the Australian soldiers landing at Gallipoli in World War 1. To mark the occasion, we created ‘Letters of Gallipoli’, a podcast that re-told the ANZAC story as it happened 100 years ago. By using real letters that were written by Australians while they were aboard ships, stuck in the trenches and dying in hospital beds, you could follow their stories like never before. Each episode was played by Gold FM on ANZAC Day.
