Breakfasters

We had a week off and Mon went to a bird show! Bron did something pretty cool too; our favourite football tragic and former Breakfaster, Tony Wilson joined us for a World Cup update; Bron got a front row seat to Craigieburn Dance Troupe The Magnificent Ladies; Breakfasters' own master chef, Emma Dean, sings the praises of the trusty slow cooker; and Friday Funnybugger and educator, Urvi Majumdar, laments the quality of illicit notes being handed around in class.

Award-winning musical theatre performer and Geelong Cats fan, Amy Lehpamer, joined us in the midst of her run of Pride and Prejudice - Sort Of, at the Athenaeum; Dr. Jen reassured us that it’s not our fault - it’s science that is making us eat trash when we drink; we discuss fully sick localized vernacular; Ben Cullen tells us how he survived a snake bite in the Otways; Masterchef finalist, Kishwar Chowdhury dropped by with her new cookbook celebrating her Bengali home, Smoke, Rice, Water; and we work through our fear of the dentist.

We get wistful for daytime TV gone by when Bron reminds us of that time that David Campbell thought his son was Princess Di reincarnated; Kon Karapanagiotidis from the ASRC was in to talk World Refugee Week; Celia Pacquola, fresh off the back of her best show win at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival was in to talk Gift Horse; We embark on the undignified work of identifying celebs in the wild; and Marieke Hardy unpacked Deborah Adelaide's latest work of auto fiction When I'm 64.

Bron loves tomatoes so much, her partner Liss thinks she should smell like one all the time, and writer, storyteller, documentary filmmaker, and former breakfaster, John Safran, was back in the studio to spruik the reboot of Race Around the World. Talking movies, Megan McKeough took us into director Kane Parsons' mysterious Backrooms, and ahead of her event at Willy Lit Fest, Antonia Pont made us rethink happiness. Finally, we question our nose for nightshades as Bron bring in her tomato perfume.
