Caroline Wilson and Corrie Perkin are joined by multi Walkley Award-winning journalist Kerry O’Brien who has just released his book aptly titled ‘A Memoir’ (available HERE)

Kerry reflects on the current state of the ABC, some of his favourite celebrity interviews and reveals why he has no interest at all in interviewing Donald Trump. Kerry also turns our ‘Crush of the Week’ for The Interchange Bench on its head naming former ABC chairman Justin Milne his ‘anti-crush’ following his appearance on ‘Four Corners’ with Michelle Guthrie.

Our 'Crush of the Week' is proudly presented by The Interchange Bench.

We touch on the anger and heartache following last week’s terror attack in the Melbourne CBD and pay tribute to Sisto Malaspina who lost his life trying to help.

In “BSF” Kerry O’Brien’s ‘A Memoir’ is our book of the week, out now for $44.99 from Allen and Unwin.

Corrie’s stepping back in time with her TV recommendation - series 2 of ‘Victoria’, Sunday night at 7.30pm on ABC TV or ABC iview and Caro shares a quick and delicious fish curry recipe (see recipe below). We talk retirement in Byron Bay, personal reputation managers, the great Bunning’s Sausage Sizzle drama, Bette Midler and much more in '6 Quick Questions’ and this week Caro is grumpy about early voting while Corrie has a ‘GLT’ for rose lovers and growers.
