He’s one of the few guests to appear on The Betoota Advocate Podcast that can actually claim that they grew up in our part of the world. Rick Morton - aka ‘The Pride Of The Channel Country’ joins Clancy and Errol this week to discuss his meteoric rise from a Murdoch field reporter to one of the great Australian authors. Rick talks about his harsh upbringing on the land, and how it has informed his understanding of poverty, politics and trauma. It’s a hell of a catch up with one of The Diamantina’s greatest exports.
