6/2/2014

For the first time we were joined in the poetry radio slot by the poet themselves - and what a poet - Les Murray. This time I didn't read the poetry - after all it wasn't mine was it? I was more of a spectator, but happily so. Anyway, you know the drill - if you want to listen to Les Murray read Les Murray follow this link.

ABC Book club chat

It was by sheer coincidence that this unfolded. I had rung up ABC in Port Macquarie to speak to a Sati about her ABC Open program. She wasn't available but the person who answered the phone, Katya Quigley, asked me if I belonged to an all-male book club.
I confirmed this fact and the next thing I knew I was agreeing to be interviewed by Statewide Afternoon presenter, Fiona Wyllie. I must confess that it is only part-way through the interview that I discovered exactly how wide this meant the audience was.
I've always been a great admirer of the relaxed, conversational way Fiona conducts her interviews, and they certainly can flow in unexpected directions. What happened during the course of the interview is a classic demonstration of this. It owes everything to Fiona Wyllie and Lady Luck.

    This blog is a mixture of experiences, light moments, humour, ponderings and observations. Which pretty much sums up living.
