From New Zealand to Dubai - Brandy Scott's radio trip

A former senior producer for RNZ, Brandy Scott is now hosting her own show on Dubai's only talk radio station. She's also just published her first novel, Not Bad People, which follows a friendship under intense pressure. It's New Year's Eve. Three thirty-something women - Aimee, Melinda and Lou - best friends for decades, let off sky lanterns filled with resolutions: for meaning, for freedom, for money. As the glowing paper bags float away, there's a bright flare in the distance. It could be a sign of luck - or the start of a complete nightmare that will upend their friendships, families and careers? Brandy Scott is back home for the launch of Not Bad People and joins Lynn Freeman in a rather different RNZ Wellington studio to the one she remembers! Not Bad People by Brandy Scott is published by HarperCollins.
