We’re shaped by what we read; at home, in our world views and in our careers. In this series the Wheeler Centre and ABC Radio National’s The Book Show aim to uncover those links between work and words.
Presented and chaired by acclaimed broadcaster Peter Mares, the discussions will feature high-profile professionals talking about the books that have been important to them and have influenced their profession.
