Join Caroline Wilson and Corrie Perkin for Episode 55! 

We kick things of this week with a little Tiger talk and an apology to Cats fans from Corrie! 

As we look back at the footy season Caro talks coaches, naming Alastair Clarkson as ‘the best coach in the last 50 years’. We love a ‘Footy Fairytale’, Melbourne’s season is certainly shaping up to be just that plus it doesn’t get much bigger than the preliminary final between Richmond and Collingwood on Friday. Caro also reflects on life post her full time role at The Age.

It’s congratulations to Corrie and family after the arrival of granddaughter Willow arrived (all be it a little early on the weekend). Caro and Corrie talk about the changing demands of parenthood and the simple joy of welcoming new life into the world - plus Corrie “Crush of the Week” is dedicated to all of the hard working midwives and nurses who help make neonatal intensive care units (NICU wards) the incredible places they are.  Our "Crush of the Week" is thanks to The Interchange Bench - recruit the best staff with The Interchange Bench. Call 1800 i BENCH to get in touch with them today or check out their website HERE. 

In “BSF” Corrie highly recommends Ian McEwan’s ‘The Children Act’ a must read before the movie comes out in November. 

Caro’s been to not one but three movies this week ‘The Merger’, ‘A Simple Favour’ and ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ - but which one is the best?

After Corrie’s rave reviews last week about Yottam Ottolenghi’s new cook book ‘Simple’, Caro’s family cooked from it all weekend - she shares a ‘one pot wonder’ Chicken Marbella recipe. 

Caro’s grumpy about over the top terminology and ‘non words’ especially those popping up in AFL speak. 

There’s plenty to ponder in “6 Quick Questions” including the US Supreme Court’s current woes, the lack of women seeking pre-selection for the Liberal party and the horrifying turn of events for Australian strawberry producers following the needle contaminations. 

'Don't Shoot The Messenger' is produced, engineered and edited by Jane Nield for Crocmedia.
