Interview with prolific author and historian Ross Fitzgerald on hilarious new book Chalk and Cheese

Chalk and Cheese: A Fabrication by Ross Fitzgerald and Ian McFadyen, a compelling novel from
Hybrid Publishers, features two feisty octogenarian ex-radio stars, Bill and Ben, as they
navigate rivalry and reconciliation in a nursing home.

With humor and heart, this tale explores aging, and unlikely alliances. Their tech-savvy grandchildren, Carl and Lily, help them launch a podcast exposing agedcare issues.

A must-read for fans of sharp wit and poignant storytelling.
