We all know Jonathan Franzen is a twitcher. But did you know Tom Hanks likes to collect
1940s typewriters? Or that Johnny Depp likes to play with dolls?
Sadly, Tom and the two Johnnies couldn’t join us, but Sam Pang has persuaded some
almost as familiar faces to reveal their unlikely obsessions.
So far this series, Kate Langbroek has revealed her obsession with op shops, Adam Zwar
has purred about his predilection for cats, musician David Bridie hit us for six, talking
about his love for suburban cricket – and former Better Homes and Gardens host Noni
Hazlehurst shared her (let’s face it) entirely expected adoration of gardening.
Always diverse, occasionally devilish, the one thing you can always expect from Unexpected
Passions is an evening of laid-back laughs, with wizard of wit Sam Pang at helm.
This time around, Dave Graney drops by to tell us about his passion for explorer Sir Richard Burton, and George McEncroe will discuss her infatuation with Junior Football.
