Jon Faine is a self-described ‘failed shock jock who enjoys washing dishes’. He is a former lawyer, an award-winning Melbourne radio journalist and was a long-time ABC broadcaster. His most recent book, Apollo & Thelma; A True Tall Tale, is a thinly disguised memoir that traverses law, indigenous rights, oral history from some of the pioneers of the Northern Territory and the remarkable career of The Mighty Apollo, the world’s strongest man.
