Special guest Amy Remeikis joins the podcast! The journalist and commentator has just published her new book Screw Nice, and she’s here to share why continuing the expected pleasantries is not getting us anywhere.
Amy also touches on the other book she published this year (yes, she’s written two), Where It All Went Wrong: The Case Against John Howard.
Screw Nice is a manifesto for anyone sick of the status quo. It’s not a call to be mean or cruel, but rather to take the permission to quit being nice because it keeps other people comfortable and in power.
Angela Priestley spoke to Amy in the lead-up to her appearance at the Byron Writers Festival, from August 14 to 16, 2026.
Screw Nice is published by Hachette Australia and Where It All Went Wrong by Simon & Schuster.
