About Us

Big Ideas brings you lectures, conversations, features and special series from Australia and around the world.

Every year Big Ideas broadcasts the Boyer Lectures – where the ABC invites a prominent Australian, or group of Australians to present the results of their thinking on major social, cultural, scientific or political issues in a series of six radio talks – and, via the BBC, the Reith Lectures.

Big Ideas was previously called Sunday Special. Details of programs broadcast before April 2001 can be found at the Sunday Special website.
