Matt Bevan: If You’re Listening (Declassified)

In 2025, tickets to Matt Bevan’s live BWF session of his ABC news podcast If You’re Listening got snapped up faster than Donald Trump changes his mind. Lucky for you (and us), Matt’s back in 2026 with a book based on his wildly popular show. With wit, insight and infectious curiosity, If You’re Listening: Declassified takes readers on a thrilling journey through seismic moments in history to reveal the myths, assumptions and quirks that colour our understanding of past and present.
