Speaker roadshow ‘for the passionately curious’ seeks sponsor
A new series of live talks backed by veteran Nine and Seven journalist Patrick Lindsay is looking for a sponsor.
The format, which targets 40-somethings, is based on five 20-minute speaker sessions with novelists, broadcasters and journalists that will run as a national series.
Called Topic Talks, the project is the brainchild of Lindsay and Colin McLennan, entertainment entrepreneur and father of News Corp EVP Hamish McLennan.


Geez Hamish McLennan has aged. Guess stresses of the job and all.
Us greys don’t give a hoot about looking older because we are mature.
Intellectuals commenting intelligently on intelligent issues seems like something only an intellectual would find intelligent. Five novels no one has read yet? Happiness aligned with nits? The most remarkable man Ray Martin has ever met? Voices from the grave? This is Topic Talk? (with nits for levity of course). So who’s the sponsor? How about White Lady Funerals?
Sounds like “Grumpy Old Men and Women – The Roadshow” to me.
