The Final Word with William McInnes

Season 8, Ep 15: As promised, here it is – our chat with one of Australia’s favourite sons, William McInnes. You know him as an actor and a writer, but before that he was a cricket obsessive and remains one to this day. But our long and winding conversation went to more than simply why he cites Rick McCosker in the acknowledgement section of each book he writes - we also canvassed fatherhood, leadership, youth and grief. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we did recording it.   Your Nerd Pledge numbers are:   6.35 – Blake Corbett  3.99 – Harrison Payne  4.34 – Peder Roberts  Guess away.
