For those people of a certain age and demographic here in Melbourne - Penny Modra is someone who needs no introduction. From the days that we cofounded Is Not Magazine together, to her time as the editor of city guide The Thousands, to her long tenure as an arts writer for The Age. Penny is someone who has lived and breathed words her entire career, and has taken that passion and craft into the founding of The Good Copy - A writing school, publisher and shop, for word people. While our two industries may not be in the same exact circles anymore, we thought bringing Penny in would be a perfect way to kickstart our ‘non-industry’ interviews, especially given all the conversation we have around the important role that written communications play in creative production and life in general.

The third leg of MRelay considered the theme 'Pause'. What happens when we stop—if we push a symbolic pause button on our lives? How is pause used as a diplomatic moment, a break in verse, a strategic instrument, a historical atonement or a connection to place? This session presented a chance to reflect on our past lives, imagined lives and future lives, and considered our environment and the surroundings we are in. How a moment of pause can result in a total reassessment and recalibration. In our technology-based society, we explored the significance of pause in creative practice, techniques of mindfulness, the importance of learning from history, paying respect to our elders and the unifying moment of a minute’s silence in a crowd. Pause was hosted by Nayuka Gorrie, Indigenous writer and activist. Speakers includedKenny Pittock, Melbourne based artist; Julie Bernhardt, professor at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health in Melbourne; Penny Modra, writing and grammar nerd at The Good Copy; Sue Maslin, hugely successful film producer; Daniel Teitelbaum, head of content at School of Life Australia; Amy Muir, director of MUIR Architects; and Eugenia Flynn, CEO at The Social Studio.

For this, the first (not a) book club, i-D AU/NZ's Wendy Syfret was joined by Penny Modra of The Good Copy to look at the twelve-part episodic podcast series ‘Charles Manson’s Hollywood’ from the podcast ‘You Must Remember This’. The twelve-part series of podcast episodes “…explore the murders committed in the summer of 1969 by followers of Charles Manson, and the Hollywood music and movie scene surrounding the killings.” Wendy and Penny discussed why we’re so obsessed with Charles Mason, other cults, how the Manson murders both inspired and were inspired by popular culture, and drew comparisons between those trends and things they observe in our present day.

Dubbed "The Indie Queen" by TIME magazine, Parker Posey has forged a formidable presence in the world of independent cinema, earning her crown playing an impressive range of quirky characters on the big screen. Along with her star turns in classics such as Dazed and Confused, Party Girl, and The House of Yes, Posey has formed an equally as interesting television resume, popping up on the box with fierce regularity throughout her 25 year career. Complementing In Praise of Parker Posey, this session of Talking TV took an inquisitive look at the small screen outings of this truly unique cinematic royal. After her first professional acting gig on the soap opera As the World Turns, Posey has made some memorable appearances on the small screen throughout her career. From her cult-favourite recurring role in the Tales of the City mini-series to guest voicing on The Simpsons and Futurama, and more recently playing recurring guest characters on seasons of Louie and The Good Wife.
