Join Caroline Wilson and Corrie Perkin for Ep 208.

Thanks to Red Energy for supporting our podcast - voted most satisfied customers 11 years in a row.

This week on the show we ponder the enigma that was Shane Warne who passed away at just 52 on Saturday, and reflect on the huge impact his death has had on his fans and the wider community around the world. Corrie shares some very personal memories of her father’s death from a heart attack and empathises with what the Warne family must be going through all whilst in the public eye.

Our special guest for International Women’s Day is Jane Caro, former advertising industry executive, writer, social commentator and senate candidate in the forthcoming 2022 federal election.

Jane has written her first adult novel, The Mother, published by Allen and Unwin ($32.99) and we discuss some of the issues like family violence that weave their way through The Mother.

Plus we discuss Jane’s recent decision to stand for the Senate as a member of the Reason Party. What made her want to fight in the forthcoming federal election?

Dear Caro and Corrie we have a great question from listener Kylie “Is it ok to reach out to friends of your mum to see if they have noticed her “fading” from a memory perspective? She’s not very old (70 this year) but living alone for 2 years of covid seems to have dulled her disproportionately, if that makes sense!” Send your question to [email protected]
