Ever wondered how to catch a plagiarist or track down a high-profile fraudster?
In a new series by The Book Show, we're delving into some of the biggest literary scandals ever to shock the country, and hearing from those who unmasked them.
The first and most recent was the discovery of plagiarism in the work of award-winning writer John Hughes. Producer Sarah L'Estrange speaks to the literary critics who uncovered the plagiarism in this week's episode.
While you're in the world of literature, tune in to this segment from RN Breakfast to hear from acclaimed author and journalist, Stan Grant, on his latest book, The Queen Is Dead.
And you can catch Booker Prize-winner Shehan Karunatilaka on Soul Search for a fascinating discussion of ghost stories and their cross-cultural legacies.
Finally, don't forget to follow the ABC's armchair travel podcast, Return Ticket, in the ABC listen app. Jonathan Green's show is back for a brand new season, and this episode, we're off to the bustling megacity of Jakarta.
Enjoy your weekend,
Anna Levy, deputy digital editor
