A 3.5 star read.
I love the format of one-hour interviews with some well-known and less known Australians. There is always something to learn, discover, reflect upon or think about.

Really enjoyed this. The 1 hr interview format allowed such freedom to wander into unexpected places. The two interviewers are excellent. Bryan Brown was unexpectedly engaging, thoughtful and intelligent. David Gillespie was fascinating too. Will definitely hunt out the remaining volumes.
