Authorised 2025 Series 6 Episode 10 Muriel Cooper & Joanna Jenkins

It's another double-barrelled episode of Authorised, with two authors who come to our bookshelves via very different paths.

Muriel Cooper was the queen of talkback radio for many years and a trailblazer in broadcasting for the women who have followed her. These days she is a psychologist and author and her latest book is the most refreshing self help guide you will find anywhere. The title says it all - Up Shit Creek in a Barbed Wire Canoe and How to Cope with it (Norstrilia Press). As flippant as that sounds, Muriel has some very useful hints, presented in her own unique style. 

Joanna Jenkins became a fulltime writer after a long and distinguished law career. The law's loss is our gain, as Joanna's second novel shows her to be a very clever, unpredictable and adventurous author with well-honed storytelling skills.                   The Bluff (Allen & Unwin) is a compelling story, as is how it came to be.
