Plus: A history of swimming, since the days of the Neanderthals
| | Fran Kelly meets a rock god |
|
She's known for her tough interviews, with a reputation for being unflappable and getting to the real story behind the spin. But before she got into journalism, she was a "rock chick" – working as a university events coordinator, organising concerts, and singing in an all-women punk band. Listen in as Fran Kelly tells Days Like These about the day she met a real-life rock legend – and did the worst interview of her life. Then join Ann Jones on What The Duck?! to discover the truth behind the legend of a bushranger said to have roamed the Coorong in the 1800s. He loved gold, so he robbed stage coaches, using an ostrich as a getaway car. Or did he? Plus – why do we swim? As Late Night Live discovers, the answer goes back many tens of thousands of years. Until next time, Rosie Ryan, digital editor Enjoy getting ABC RN in your inbox? Invite your friends to sign up too! |
