Stephanie MacFie’s debut novel Once Upon a Breakfast Show is set inside a high-rating Melbourne FM Breakfast show and draws directly on her experience both on-air and behind the scenes.
The novel follows the life of Emily Blake, who has built a career out of turning her messy life into radio gold. When a cheeky on-air stunt spirals out of control, she accidentally crowdsources her next date and unearths a romantic encounter from thirteen years earlier, one unforgettable week with a man who vanished.
