How do you make an ordinary person seem like a rock star? You put them in front of Richard Fidler. His cult ABC radio show, Conversations, is Australia's most popular podcast, downloaded more than 1.8 million times per month. And Richard is the puppet master; drawing you deep into the stories of people you have probably never heard of. Today, he is on the receiving end of the questions. He tells Mia Freedman how he got to where he is today; the skills it takes to make the driest topics interesting, who the worst subjects to interview are, and why weirdness is everything.
