This week, Geordie & Michelle dive into the life and work of the greatest children’s author of all time, Roald Dahl…

If you’ve ever read a book byRoald Dahlor watched one of the films inspired by his stories, you might assume his legacy begins and ends with some of the most beloved children’s books ever written. But that barely scratches the surface. Beyond his extraordinary imagination as a writer, Dahl lived a life that was as dramatic as any of his stories. He served as a fighter pilot duringWorld War II, survived a crash that nearly killed him, and later worked as a British intelligence agent. He wrote the most successfulJames Bond filmscreenplay of all time, caught the attention ofWalt Disney, collaborated withAlfred Hitchcock and married a super successful Hollywood actress. He endured the death of a child and supported another through a life-threatening injury and even helped develop a life-saving medical device. But there’s also a dark side to Dah’s life that begs the question – can you separate the work from the man? So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the pair chat the woman who went missing in Geordie’s neighbourhood, Dan the Postie’s new wheels, hydro facials, sound baths and more, only on Eavesdroppin’. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!
