Sean - Random intense conversations

Here are two conversations I happened to catch on RN this weeks as I was driving around doing workshops. I found both fascinating, not just for the content, but also for the manic character of those "in conversation". They are not so much conversations, as intense raves from two very different men.

Speaking with Richard Fidler, Michael Ware is a journalist who has specialised in reporting from Iraq. He gives a gripping account of what exactly is going on with the jihadist group, Islamic State. And he seems kind of shrill and on edge throughout. Fair enough given the terrifying content, and the fact he was kidnapped by jihadists in 2004.

Meanwhile, here's theatre critic Alison Croggon at NEON in Melbourne, "talking" with Barrie Kosky. Well, Barry is just raving free-form style, and Alison can't get a word in edgeways. But it's pretty entertaining.
