August 01, 2018 Talking Tunnels on Ten
My brief stint on Studio Ten was all about the Cu Chi Tunnels in Vietnam, with occasional flashes of my new novel's cover.But the good news is that I hope to be back with them in a few weeks talking about apartments. Fingers crossed.If you want to more about the novel, Tunnel Vision, go to the Accidental Guru website. It's a comedy thriller so if you like crime fiction laced with humour, this could be for you.If you want to know more about my adventures in Vietnam (and elsewhere) go to my travel writing website Mildrover.com.And if you want to learn more about how Australians were the first to explore the Cu Chi tunnels during the Vietnam war, go to the Tunnel Rats and Sappers war website.

April 16, 2018 It’s Byron Airbn-Bay as holiday town “gutted” by online lets
A newspaper interview by our good mate Mark Dapin reveals that online holiday letting is "gutting" Byron Bay.Meanwhile the State government snuggles up to Airbnb with a plan to give every pensioner $100 the first time they let a room to a visitor on the global internet platform.This prompted a call from ABC radio and Josh Szeps (filling in for James Valentine). Let me know when they start giving $100 to every neighbour whose sleep is disturbed by Airbnb party animals next door. Until then, here's the radio interview.

March 06, 2018 Madecomfy spruiks Airbnb profits on ABC radio
Property investors - especially in strata buildings – should switch to holiday rentals instead of long-term tenancies if they want to maximise their profits, says the founder of a company that manages Airbnb-style properties on behalf of landlords.According to MadeComfy co-founder Sabrina Bethunin, a report her company commissioned shows says that short term holiday letting rates are now on a par with hotel room rates.In case you haven’t heard of them before, Madecomfy provides a complete management service, from handing over keys to changing bed linen and cleaning the house or apartment. This is for Airbnb and other internet letting hosts who don’t want to have to deal with their guests directly – an arms-length, never-meet-the-tourists arrangement that Airbnb calls ‘sharing’.You can here an interview with Ms Bethunin on ABC News Radio here.
