Many years ago, Marc Fennell began his career as a volunteer at Sydney community station FBi Radio. Armed with a microphone and a minidisc recorder (it was the early 00s) he quickly became enamoured with the art of interviewing. A couple of decades on, Fennell still loves nothing more than sitting down with another person, having a conversation and switching on the recorder.
In fact, that’s how his latest project began. On a trip to London, the media personality started interviewing people about stolen artefacts. He turned those interviews into a podcast called Stuff the British Stole that quickly raced to the top of the iTunes charts. It was such a hit that the ABC decided to turn Stuff the British Stole into a six-part television series, which begins airing Tuesday 1 November at 8pm.
