Another holiday weekend double banger with a couple of very talented Aussie authors, Pip Drysdale and David Batty. Pip's new book takes you to LA for a thriller that will keep you guessing and glued until the very end and her personal story is quite a tale in itself.

David's travels are very different and his personal adventures across the length and breadth of Australia make for very entertaining listening and reading.

Enjoy hearing from Pip Drysdale, author of The Close Up (Harper Collins) and the man who wrote and lived David Batty's Bush Bible (ABC Books).

Authorised returns for 2025 thanks to my podcast partners CSCG. We go international for the first episode of this series with author Nick Harkaway. Nick is a successful author in his own right but also happens to be the son of world famous novelist John le Carré and in this new novel Karla's Choice those worlds collide in the best possible way. Nick brings back to life le Carré's iconic spy George Smiley, a daunting task for any writer but a hugely personal challenge for the son of the characters creator. It is a fascinating and ambitious endeavour. Nick talks candidly about the ups and downs journey he undertook.

Another double banger December episode with two authors discussing their latest work. Steve Woods' third volume of his For the Record books 'As the Days Go By' is a day by day chronicle of events in music, television, movies and more from an Aussie point of view. A huge undertaking and one Steve has conquered brilliantly. He shares some great stories with Kevin in the opening chat for this episode.

Des Tobin's 86 years on the planet have revolved around his family and his family business, so it is no surprise he was drawn to the amazing stories of families involved in Australian Rules Football and the tales he has uncovered make for great reading, even if you have no football interest at all. From the Whittens, Abletts and Kennedys to Captain Blood and the Tiwi magicians, 'It's in the Genes' is packed with colourful characters and incredible stories.

The books are available online. For Steve's three books it is fortherecordbook.com.au and 'It's in the Genes' is via https://destobin.com.au/
