Jimmy Barnes reveals how writing his memoirs - the therapy he consequently underwent to deal with the demons of his past - probably saved his life. "If I hadn't started writing, I probably wouldn't have been around for long...I had already gotten to the point where I woke up with a rope hanging in the dressing room. I was a ticking time bomb and the process of writing helped diffuse that." Barnesy also picks the brains of award-winning author Debra Oswald for writerly tricks to help him pen his first novel.....if you want to find out more, watch videos of the interviews, see galleries, interactive content and check out articles you can subscribe through storytimewithjimmybarnes.com.au

In Story Time with Jimmy Barnes, the raw-voiced rock icon pulls up a chair for conversations that feel less like interviews and more like late-night hangs backstage. Produced by the Daily Telegraph, this podcast features Jimmy in deep, often hilarious, talk with fellow musicians like Chris Cheney, collaborators like Debra Oswald, and family members, weaving through decades of Australian music history. The stories here are the kind you only hear when the formalities are over-unvarnished tales from the road, studio secrets, and the unexpected moments that happen between the gigs. It’s a collection of rock and roll yarns told with the warmth and grit of someone who lived them, offering a rare, personal glimpse into the life behind the legend. Each episode feels like an intimate session, reminiscing with friends where laughter and reflection sit side by side. You’ll hear the camaraderie, the chaos, and the quiet truths that come from a lifetime spent performing. This isn't a polished retrospective; it's the real talk from the heart of the scene, delivered in Jimmy Barnes' unmistakable style. Tune in for a raw and resonant journey through the sounds and stories that shaped a generation.
