In this captivating episode, Michael Lester sits down with Blanche D’Alpuget, the esteemed author of biographies, historical fiction, politics, and crime mysteries. Now in her eighties, Blanche candidly shares her extraordinary journey—her childhood, early marriage, and career, as well as her experience as “the other woman” and her deep involvement in politics and second-wave feminism. Recently published in Fridays with Blanche (Allen & Unwin, 2025), her biography, written by Derek Reilly, offers intimate insights into her rich life, her views on men, love, the spirit world, and the ongoing quest for meaning. Join us for an inspiring conversation about resilience, truth, and the stories that shape a life.
