AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'By turns hilarious and moving, Amanda Keller takes us on a nostalgia-filled journey through her life, from her childhood in sunny Brissie to her daggy teen years in suburban Sydney and heady college days getting a PhD in alcohol and arcade games. She also recounts falling in love with the 'nice Kiwi boy' who became her husband, their long struggle to have a baby and overwhelming joy at the birth of their two sons.

'In the world of TV, Amanda takes us behind the scenes of Simon Townsend's Wonder World, the fun she had travelling the globe for Beyond 2000 (despite minimal scientific education and no sense of direction), being the baby boomer queen on Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation and sharing the couch with three blokes (and the odd snake and celeb) on The Living Room.

'Amanda loves 'the wireless' and shares her memories of twenty years on radio shooting the breeze with the likes of Andrew Denton and Mikey Robbins, right through to laughing, squabbling and taking the piss with her mate Jonesy on a daily basis.

'Vivid, funny and hugely entertaining, Natural Born Keller will have you laughing uproariously, nodding in recognition and occasionally delving into a box of tissues.' (Publication summary)
