Bettina at the Brisbane Writer’s Festival
Television
Bettina has been entertaining television audiences since the 1970’s when she was banned from live broadcasts for two years for mentioning topics then regarded as unmentionable. Here’s a selection of her favourite television appearances:
- See her talking to Mark Latham on Sky TV
- Talking heads with Peter Thompson
- A talk to the National Press Club about sex after prostate cancer
- Speaking to The Sydney Institute about online dating
Radio
Listening to radio is a great way of learning more about intimate issues like sex. Listeners are often on their own, driving a car or doing the housework – perfect for topics which make people blush in company. Bettina had her own Saturday evening talk-back program in Sydney back in the 1980s – entertaining many, including whole busloads of cricket and football players on their way home from matches.
Here’s some of her radio appearances:
- Talking to Miranda Devine about The Red Pill
- Hilarious session on female libido at the Brisbane Writers Festival
- Conversation Hour with Richard Fidler on What Men Want
- Life Matters on sex after prostate cancer
- Talk back on sex with Noni Hazlehurst
Other Media
Newspapers, blogs, and magazines also regularly feature articles about Bettina. Here’s a selection:
- Good Weekend Profile
- Paul Sheehan praises Bettina’s book, The Sex Diaries
The Arndt Hate Campaign
Writing about men’s issues naturally attracts some hostile attention. There’s been a pretty ferocious Arndt hate campaign in feminist circles for many years. Read more about their antics and the Arndt articles which drove them crazy.
