Listen Again: Tim Ayliffe & Michael Brissenden
June 30, 2026

 

In case you missed it: Tim Ayliffe and Michael Brissenden turned up, brought the banter, and delivered a rollicking conversation that made us want to put the world to rights over a pint afterward.

They covered everything from their writing routines, their lives as journalists, and the guts of two books that share a common thread far more unsettling than fiction usually allows.

The lovely chaps from the Woollahra Bookshop joined us for the first time as booksellers, and were a very welcome addition on the day.

Enjoy the talk!
