A warm and witty memoir, this volume chronicles four decades of life inside the Australian Broadcasting Corporation as experienced by one of its most beloved personalities. With an insider's eye and a broadcaster's gift for storytelling, it presents a rich tapestry of behind-the-scenes anecdotes, institutional history, and the colourful characters who shaped Australian public broadcasting across the twentieth century. The narrative illustrates how the ABC — affectionately nicknamed Aunty by generations of Australians — evolved as both a cultural institution and a workplace, balancing public service ideals with the inevitable quirks of bureaucratic life. Written with affectionate humour and candid reflection, it offers an entertaining and historically valuable account of an era in Australian media that will resonate deeply with anyone who grew up listening to or working within the national broadcaster.
