Season 03 Episode 10 - MUD BETWEEN YOUR TOES, CONVERSATIONS WITH MICHAEL SMITH (Out 19 May). It was well after midnight on a muggy Shanghai September evening in 2020 when Michael Smith, the Australian Financial Review’s China correspondent, was awoken by the secret police banging on his door. It would mark the abrupt end of Australian journalism on the ground in China since diplomatic ties were established in 1972. Speaking from his home in Sydney, Mike talks to me about his evacuation from China, his recently released book, The Last Correspondent and his views on the highly charged atmosphere between Canberra and Beijing.
