Peter FitzSimons is one of Australia's most prominent and successful media and publishing identities. His busy professional life involves writing weekly columns for the Sydney Morning Herald and Sun Herald newspapers, appearing on Foxtel's The Back Page television show and, when time permits, authoring best-selling books. A correspondent for London's Daily Telegraph as well, he is also in high demand as a guest speaker and presenter.

Ahead of the release of 'The Incredible Life Of Hubert Wilkins', Stefania sat down with Fitzy to discuss the Forest Gump of Australian history, why Wilkins was lost to history, the pioneer of climate change advocation, and more.
