My interview with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about The Red Witch and the art of biography has just been released on the Biographers in Conversation podcast here. This podcast series is now in its third season and features Australian and international biographers. I am grateful to Gabriella for her commitment to biographers and her talents in drawing out insights about biographical choices, which extends the work she did in her PhD thesis and her own biography, Breaking Through the Pain Barrier: the extraordinary life of Dr Michael J. Cousins. If you’re interested in biography, I encourage you to subscribe to Biographers in Conversation.
I did a public speaking seminar last year at work, and I didn’t think it had made much difference – but listening to my interview, I eliminated my ‘ums’, which was a big focus of the seminar. Success!

Hi Nathan,
I really enjoyed listening to your podcast with Gabriella. So interesting to hear your little reflections on your writing strategies for The Red Witch. And I loved your final comments on the ‘essential’ role of the biographer and how we should all celebrate biographers and their work. Couldn’t agree more!
Good to hear about your progress on your Curtin bio. too. Writing and researching at the same time — nice!
