Join Caroline Wilson and Corrie Perkin for Episode 74 ‘There’s Always a Rogue Ingredient’.

Caro and Corrie review the 2019 Oscars, the winners, the losers and of course the fashion. Did the Academy get it all wrong this year?

As February nears its end we check in on the ‘Goal of the Month’ progress.

Gossip Columns (their writers and publishers) are under fire this week. Is it possible to write an ethical gossip column? Name and shame or don’t write it at all asserts Caro, appalled by recent stories about an anonymous ‘AFL legend’s’ marriage breakdown.

Caro also has plenty to say about the AFL’s new two strike drug policy – is it softer than ever before?

The reporting of Julie Bishop’s departure from politics has Corrie fired up, but Caro’s not sure what all of the fuss is about.

Corrie’s “Crush of the Week” is not one but fifty-eight former senior national security officials in the US, who are daring to stand up against Donald Trump’s plans to build a border wall.

In BSF Corrie’s recommending Saving Mona Lisa by Gerri Chanel (available HERE), Caro’s been off to the movies to see Stan and Ollie and Corrie shares a great cake recipe from Donna Hay (see recipe below). 

Poor customer service from airline staff has made Corrie super grumpy this week and there’s plenty of ground to cover in ‘6 Quick Questions’ including Karl Lagerfeld’s cat heiress and actor Richard Roxburgh’s sell-out car commercial.

Caro’s got a couple of GLTs as well.
