Join Caroline Wilson and Corrie Perkin for Ep 115 – ‘Maybe It Was The Weevils’.

Caro’s back from her #FillUpYourEsky road trip through bushfire affected towns along the South Coast of NSW – and she’s got some great recommendations for local businesses that need our support including Dulcie’s Cottage in Merimbula, Tathra Oysters and The Long Paddock in Lindenow.

As February challenges continue – Corrie’s managed to cut her Instagram usage by 27% and the cull continues at Caro’s house.

Caro and Corrie discuss the current state of women in Sports journalism and in leadership roles in sporting bodies. Why is there still such under representation? Why do difficult men seem to survive where difficult women don’t?

We recap some of the highlights from the Oscar’s last week and Caro reviews Parasite.

Caro’s ‘Crush of the Week’ is journalist Louise Milligan for her expose about an alleged ‘cultural cover up’ at St Kevin’s Catholic School in Melbourne.

In ‘BSF’ Caro’s pulled a classic from the shelves in F.Scott Fitgerald’s The Beautiful and Damned, Corrie’s been to see the 2020 version of Jane Austen’s Emma and Caro shares an easy recipe for Spicy Chilli Beans (see recipe below).

This week Corrie’s grumpy about ruthless landlords who’d rather risk an empty shop than face the reality that retailers are struggling.

My Bookshop Bushfire Recovery Event

The event will start at 6.30pm and finish 7.30pm.
