An eclectic, diverse & highly intriguing range of interviews by the ABC's Richard Fidler. From an autobiographical interview with Magda Szubanski & Captain Frank Dell, to overviews of careers with Kate Forsyth & Pip Courtney, to a snapshot of a time period with Peterson Hoysted (and the Fine Cotton debacle) and John Howard's gun reforms; a brilliant, entertaining and insightful set of interviews!

Very enjoyable to listen to. The interviewer knows his chosen topic and most of the interviews are very interesting. Note that this will be personal taste of course depending on the listeners interests although I found even the interviews with authors almost as interesting as those of people who had actually influenced changes in society and history.
