FULL SHOW: Why Jim Penman says his company can't be sold, and Bathurst with Mark Beretta
Bonafide with Luke BonaShow Notes
Jim Penman tells Luke how a rival knocked him back when he asked to join, why he charges franchisees $700 for a contract when he says $5,000 is normal, and why, he says, Jim's Group can't be sold without most franchisees' consent. His new book with Andrea Pearson, Birth-Rate Crisis, blames too much dopamine for Australia's falling birth rate. Kelsey isn't convinced.
Mark Beretta calls in on the drive to Bathurst with stories from Mount Panorama and a look at Sunday's race, plus his new Seven series, Ports to Paradise. In the Man Cave, Dr Graham Wild from UNSW Canberra talks about the flydubai cockpit attack and air marshals, then takes on Adam McDonald's doubts about the moon landing.
Luke and Kelsey also get into Christa Pike's failed execution, jet ski footage from the Gold Coast and Woolworths' bachelor's handbag.
Guests: Jim Penman, Mark Beretta, Dr Graham Wild, Adam McDonald
