You are Australia's longest running Sunday columnist.
Next year will be 30 years since you've been writing your column for Queensland Sunday Mail.
What are your recollections about those early years writing a column as opposed to now where it's obviously living in print and digital and now there's social?
Has the process of putting a column together changed for you as much as the way that it's distributed has over those 30 years?
What about the nature of the feedback from your readers over that time, Fran?
Do you still get letters and things in the mail?
I guess people are now sliding into your DMs, as they say.
How does that responsibility sit with you?
Because it is a real privilege as a journalist if someone is sharing these stories with you.
Practically, how do you find the time to respond to everyone?
And yeah, how much of people's emotions do you take on?
In addition to your work on the Sunday Column, of course, you are an award-winning feature writer and interviewer.
You've interviewed multiple public figures, state premiers, a lot of celebrities.
You've interviewed people in the middle of massive news stories and have gone through unfathomable things.
I'd love to ask you about some of the interviews that have stood out for you over the years.
What an experience and you must have been particularly devastated then when he passed away and everyone felt it.
But for you that had that personal connection must have felt all the more acute.
Well, just because I knew that we'd lost a good one.
You know, speaking of losing a good one, Fran, I have to ask you about this.
Apparently, you are, I'm going to quote you here, 99.9% sure.
