Good to know
What to expect
An hour of stories that never made the bulletin. Adam has spent 30 years reporting on Australia's underworld, the informers, the detectives and the cases that ran across the front pages, and he tells them with the detail only someone who was in the room can supply. Gripping, often darkly funny, and not cleaned up for the occasion. People walk out having heard the real version of something they thought they already knew. The talk gets pitched at whoever is in front of him. A corporate dinner, a club, a private party, a festival audience: each one gets a different hour, and he'll take questions from the floor.
On the day
Not much at all. A microphone, lapel or handheld, and a PA. Bigger rooms are easier with a lectern, and a screen and projector if he's running visuals, otherwise neither is needed. Fifteen or twenty minutes in the space beforehand covers the sound check. Adam will work with whatever gear the venue already has.
