Farz Edraki is an Iranian-Australian writer, editor, and host. She wears many different hats after over 10 years in the media, which is odd because hats don't suit her very much.
Farz is the host of ABC podcast Days Like These, recently named Best Entertainment Podcast (2023) at the Australian Podcast Awards.
As a writer, she's published comedic non-fiction in The Belladonna & The Guardian, and long-form features for the ABC. A short story she wrote was published in Growing Up In Country Australia. She's worked as a commissioning digital editor at the ABC. In 2023, she completed her Masters of Creative Writing and Literature from the University of Western Sydney.
In TV, she's worked on The School That Tried to End Racism, The House with Annabel Crabb, and Tonightly with Tom Ballard. A series she produced and directed, Hey Stranger, was recognised in the 2020 Webby Awards.
She co-hosted the independent election podcast for teens, Bite the Ballot. She has appeared at the Sydney Writers' Festival, and hosted many a panel discussion, including this one for Sydney Ideas.
