AUTHORISED 2022 Epiosde 13 Alison Brahe Daddo Queen Menopause

Music and cars is always a winning combo and our featured authors in this episode bring some great stories from those worlds through the pages of their latest work.

Jeff Apter returns to Authorised with Reckless - The Saga of Australian Crawl, while debut author but well-known motoring writer Stephen Corby has produced Drives a Bit Funny. 

Writing the Australian Crawl story seems a natural progression for Jeff, Australia's best-selling music biographer. He was a Crawl fan and saw the band's first Sydney shows back in the late seventies supporting The Knack. 

Stephen Corby has been described as Australia's Jeremy Clarkson - just younger, funnier and less pompous - but he has his own views on that, as you will hear. We bring you Stephen's journey, in and out of a moving vehicle, to becoming Australia's favourite motoring writer and now an author.
