Richard Fidler presents Conversations with Richard Fidler, an in-depth, up close and personal interview program broadcast across Australia on ABC Radio.
He's interviewed prime ministers, astronauts, writers and scientists, but the program often features remarkable people who are unknown to the wider world. The program attracts a large listening audience around the nation and is the most popular podcast in Australia.
Richard is the author of the best-selling Ghost Empire, a history of the lost civilisation of Byzantium; and the co-author of Saga Land, the story of the great sagas of Iceland. Richard's most recent book is The Golden Maze: A Biography of Prague.
