Picture this: you're sitting across from Virginia Trioli, a powerhouse of Australian journalism with two Walkley Awards to her name, as she recounts her rise through the newsrooms of the country, navigating the highs and lows of a career spent chasing the truth. In this episode, Virginia takes us behind the scenes of some of the most gripping stories she’s covered—from the political dramas that captivated the nation to her personal travels and adventures that shaped her worldview.
“It is an uncomfortable relationship you enter into. I want that story. It's a very good story. No, I don't want to ruin your life. But I also know, deep down, just publishing this, is going to change the course of your life.”
We dive into her new book, A Bit on the Side, where she explores the "side dishes" of life—both literally and metaphorically. Virginia shares not only her favorite recipes but also the moments of sweetness, bitterness, and everything in between that have defined her life and career.
Join us for an engaging conversation that blends storytelling, journalism, and creativity in ways only Virginia can deliver. It's an episode packed with the adventure, insight, and inspiration that will leave you craving more.
Virginia Trioli is the host of ABC TV’s Creative Types and former host on News Breakfast, Q&A and ABC Melbourne.
