Dubbed a ‘really reliable memoir’, radio star Brendan ‘Jonesy’ Jones\u00a0came to Booktopia to help\u00a0set a few things straight. For instance, why\u00a0did he write his memoir Fifty Shades of 50<\/a><\/em>? Is he scared of losing his memory or is it a midlife crisis?<\/p>\n “It’s like a half-life report card and if I do indeed live like a Galapagos Turtle to 100, then good. But I think for me I’m not having a midlife crisis. I don’t have a problem with turning 50.\u00a0I had more of a problem with turning 27.” – Brendan<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Brendan keeps busy entertaining thousands of Sydney-siders as co-host of radio talkshow 101.7 WSFM with Amanda Keller. Not to mention being a parent! But now that Brendan’s kids are growing up, what’s next?\u00a0For Jonesy, it’s time to write. Have a listen to our podcast interview with Jonesy below, where he delves into what it was like writing about his life, including why he chose radio, the lead up to it, his chance at starring on TV and what it’s like to have your own children read about your youthful\u00a0discretions.<\/p>\n “It’s bigger than me. It’s almost akin to… if I was a musician, the radio is my music, as wanky as that sounds.” – Brendan<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Oh, for those of you who don’t know, Jonesy was this year named the sexiest man in radio.<\/p>\n
