"Gay Lives" (53:24 mins)
Hindsight, February 2001
Barry McKay: Host, researcher, interviewer and producer,
executive producer: Jane Connors
In the days before Mardi Gras, sleaze balls and gay bars, homosexual men had few safe places to come together. Their sexuality was outlawed and their social life was restricted to private parties and those hotels where the proprietor turned a blind eye. Barry McKay talks to historians of gay culture and gay men of different ages to get the word on the dark and lighter sides of homosexual life in Australia from the 1930s to the 1970s.







"Go-Set - Pop and Circumstance" (53:15 mins)
Hindsight, December 2001
Barry McKay: Producer, researcher and interviewer
Hosted by Mitch O'Driscoll, executive producer: Michelle Rayner
Go-Set in its prime was more than just a music magazine. It gave voice to a generation of young people in the 1960s and 70s, questioning the values of the society in which they lived, which at times got Go-Set into hot water with the authorities. Featuring interviews with Philip Frazer, Molly Meldrum, Ross Wilson, Pat Wilson, Wendy Saddington, Russell Morris and other former Go-Setters. Hosted by Go-Set's 'roving girl reporter' Mitch O'Driscoll.

"The Media and Lindy Chamberlain" (18:20 mins)
The Media Report, June 2012
Barry McKay: Reporter, researcher and prodcer
executive producer: Kyla Slaven
It’s over 30 years now since a nine-month-old baby called Azaria Chamberlain went missing at Uluru in Central Australia. Was she taken by a dingo or was she murdered by her then 32-year-old mother? Or something else altogether? What followed was a rollercoaster of court cases and media scrutiny, all fuelled by theories and myths and conspiracies about what happened to Azaria and why. We take a special look back at the reporting of the Chamberlain case with some of the print journos who were at the centre of the story.
