Join Caroline Wilson and Corrie Perkin for Ep 66. 

Our special guest for our 'housekeeping' segment this week is Mandy Wildsmith from Hardie Grant who's just been voted the Australian Booksellers Rep of the Year. Mandy helps us choose the winner of our 'Name the Cocktail' competition and has a fantastic book for our winner 'A Spot At The Bar' by The Everleigh's Michael Madrusan. 

As we say goodbye to the year that was, Caro and Corrie look ahead to 2019. What will be the big trends? Forest bathing, goat yoga, narwhales and IGTV advertising are just a few to make the list. 

We play a spot of 'Who Would've Thought?' and marvel at some of the more usual news events and stories of the year. 

Corrie has a "Crush of the Week" - Jacinda Adern (NZ PM) who's leading the way for all politicians, not just the women. 

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

In "BSF" our featured book is the title that won the honour of Caro and Corrie's Book Club's best of 2018 - Michael Ondaatje's 'Warlight'. 

A small screen 'must watch' this week 'Australian Story - The Burning Question' a heart wrenching look at the tragic case of Black Saturday arsonist Brendan Sokaluk.

Caro serves up her Martha Stewart Slow Cooked Salmon recipe (coming soon) and gets a little grumpy about cricket commentators defaulting to the 'mate' setting. 

In "6 Quick Questions" we look at Time Magazine's 'Person of the Year', our favourite summer kitchen gadgets, Corrie's plan to invent dog slippers and more. 

Caro's "GLT" this week is to plant baby basil - perfect for easy summer dishes with no chopping required.
