In Conversation with Magda Szubanski

I was recently invited by Berkelouw Books Mona Vale to interview Magda Szubanski in the store as part of the launch of her memoir 'Reckoning'.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book (fortunately!) and there were so many fascinating elements, it wasn't difficult to develop enough questions/prompts to fill an hour of 'conversation'.

Although I've been interviewed on numerous occasions, it was a new experience to be in the other chair. In my preparation I found it really interesting listening to talented interviewers (i.e. Richard Fidler) and spent some time working out how they facilitate and structure an engaging interview.

We had a great turnout of 75 excited locals who gave Magda a huge welcome. As an entertainer, she was amazing to work alongside, very articulate and, of course, a gift for comedic timing. Fabulous night all round!Highly recommend 'Reckoning' - see the SMH review HERE
