Turn off the podcasts! Tune out of the same old TED Talks! There's finally another way to drink in some stellar insights from international thinkers and notable minds. Introducing: the City Recital Hall's series of livestreamed conversations, which picks the brains of superstars and super-minds and beams them straight into your home.
On Wednesday, October 21, Matthew McConaughey will join forces with Idris Elba to bring you a conversation about McConaughey's childhood, his travels through Peru, Mali and Australia and his revalations along the way ($25 per ticket, but for $55 you'll get a copy of his new book Greenlights too). The always charming Nigella Lawson will also be gracing our screens, on-demand between November 5 to 7 ($25, $55 with a copy of her latest book, Cook, Eat, Repeat). Next, writer Peter FitzSimons will talk about Australian mythology with Conversations' Richard Fidler, available to watch from October 30 to November 1 ($20, $50 with a copy of FitzSimons' new release Breaker Morant) and Lady Glennconnen (princess Margaret's lady in waiting, and a close, personal friend of the Queen) will finish off the series with a live event about her new murder mystery novel, the intriguingly named Murder on Mustique ($20 per ticket), available to stream from November 13 to 15.
