#110 Sneak Peak: David Leser

Five of My Life listeners from around the world contact me with feedback and suggestions regularly and I love it. Next week's guest was a suggestion from a lovely chap, Nicolas Shorter, who emailed me. He recommended that I invite the award winning journalist and author David Leser onto the show and I'm so glad he did. Don't miss next week's chat with the author of 'Women, Men and the Whole Damn Thing' - N

#103 Five of the Best - Politicians

The Five of My Life is deliberately and distinctly not part of the daily political news cycle. However, it is  fascinating to hear from our political leaders when they are not delivering a sound bite or policy beat up. This compilation episode gives an insight into the true and authentic personalities of Tanya Plibersek, Julia Gillard, Anthony Albanese, Jacqui Lambie and Gladys Berejiklian via their responses to the Five of My Life challenge.
