In this episode, I interviewed journalist, broadcaster and book show host Jennifer Byrne. Jennifer is a prominent Australian journalist who has reported for eminent establishments such as The Age and The Bulletin, as well as the television shows Sunday, 60 Minutes and Foreign Correspondent. She is currently the host of The Book Club on ABC as well as its spin-off program Jennifer Byrne Presents.

Novelist Nick Earls is a very funny man.

He had me in stitches as we hid behind a bookshelf in the green room at the Sydney Writers Festival.

The former doctor spoke without prompted about possibly going to childcare with Eddie Izzard, working as a storytelling armchair, and using paper clips to hold together his story ideas.

Nick's novels 48 Shades of Brown, Zigzag Street and Perfect Skin are all young adult classics. His latest novel for adults is Analogue Men.
