This daily news podcast has built a cult following and is one of the most popular ways Australian's consumer their daily news.

The story behind the inception of The Squiz' newsletter and podcast is one of the big reasons I wanted to speak with Claire - its a proper business, not a side hustle - its funding came from two rounds of capital raising and the podcast was voted one of the most popular in Australia and the Squiz team has this year introduced a third podcast especially for kids, Squiz Kids.

The Squiz founder Claire Kimball is a bit of legend in my mind, I'm really in awe of the way she podcasts, she's a news junkie and she loves charcoal chicken on a Sunday (from the main street in Goulburn).

This is a conversation prompted by one of my friends living in the city. It features farmers, friends and family explaining what rain really means to their farming operation at this time of the year - and how much rain you need to truly break a drought.

Gifting from the garden this Christmas with The Garden Curator, Colleen Southwell who loves everything about gardening and nurturing plants. So why not save money and be thoughtful in giving a gift that's from the garden this Christmas.

Bringing Back a love for Christmas Cards with Naomi Bulger.

Naomi Bulger loves writing and illustrating letters - and thinks we could all give it a go - to reach out to a friend who you've lost touch with, someone overseas or someone who would get a real lift from opening the letterbox to discover beautiful hand written card. Wouldn't we all love that!
