Having graced our television screens in popular series like Love My Way and The Slap along with roles in worldwide smash hit Game of Thrones and a host of movies, Brendan Cowell is an actor many Australians would be familiar with.

He's well-known in writing circles as a novelist as well as an award-winning screenwriter and playwright.

A multi-talented artist whose new novel "Plum" has just been published by HarperCollins Australia. An irresistible, eye-opening and raw novel on so many levels. A book that gives readers insight into brain injuries in players of full contact sports like rugby league. So timely and so very topical. . .

I was delighted to chat with Brendan on the podcast recently.
