20 years of stories: ABC’s Conversations with Sarah Kanowski & Richard Fidler hits the road

Reporter

For the past 20 years, ABC’s Conversations has told the stories of the famous and the unknown, the brave, the brilliant … and the quietly extraordinary.

Now, to celebrate this milestone, Conversations Live with Sarah Kanowski and Richard Fidler is coming to stages around Australia.

Sarah and Richard take audiences behind the scenes, sharing the untold stories and moments that stayed with them long after the mic was turned off.

ABC’s Conversations consistently appears in the top 10 podcasts in Australia each month.

Commencing in Adelaide on 1 August, Conversations Live with Sarah Kanowski and Richard Fidler will visit Hobart, Canberra, Perth, Newcastle, Brisbane, Melbourne and Darwin, before wrapping up in Sydney on 23 August.

Richard says “This live event celebrates 20 years of us dragging people in front of a microphone and inviting them to share their stories, ideas and secrets. Sarah and I can’t wait to bring the show to audiences around Australia.”

Echoing this sentiment, Sarah says “Kanowski and Fidler onstage together. it’s like Sonny and Cher, Nancy and Lee, and the White Stripes all rolled into one, only without any discernible musical talent.”

Tickets go on sale this Friday, May 2nd, via ABC Events. 

Tune into ABC’s Conversations on ABC Local Radio Monday to Friday at 11am and on ABC Radio National Monday to Friday at 3pm or via ABC listen.

I hope that, somewhere along the line during this anniversary, the ABC gives credit to the people who created, hosted and produced the original Conversations program in Brisbane before Richard Fidler came on the scene and made it a national thing.
