In this episode I call my friend, Sara-Jane, and I tell her a joke.

Have you ever been in a choir? SJ are in a choir together, and joining it was honestly one of the best things I've ever done. Did you know various studies have found singing, and particularly singing in a group, are really good for your brain? Be cool like SJ and me, join a choir.

In this episode I call my friend, Katie, and I tell her a joke.

Katie loves Halloween more than anyone I've ever met. She decorates her house, and watches themey things, and eats themey snacks. Last year, when it was legal to visit each other's houses, we ate trick-or-treat candy and watched Hocus Pocus together, and I am here to HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you also watch it in the lead-up to Halloween. It's stilly and fun and good. It's available on Disney+ and Amazon Prime, and what are you waiting for?

My mum is the best, and I have made the clip of her saying "Oh, Josie" in this episode my new message alert tone.

In this episode I call my friend, Aga, and I tell her a joke.

I CANNOT WAIT to meet Aga's new baby. Before he was born I gave Aga this little giraffe teething toy, and every time she sends me a video of the baby playing with it (waving it around and chewing on it) I cry actual tears.

In this episode I call my work friend, Dan, and I tell him a joke.

Part of living in Melbourne is learning to become a coffee snob, and Dan is the first person who taught me how to make good (really good) coffee. That said, his coffees are still much better than mine, so even though I mostly miss being at work with Dan because of his lovely personality, I also miss his delicious, after lunch lattes.

In this episode I call my kid friend, Arty, and I tell him a joke.

Arty is back at school just in time for book week. Because Arty has excellent taste, he went dressed as Ripley from Lumberjanes, an EXCELLENT series of graphic novels and middlegrade novels that young people, and adults as well, should put in their eye holes immediately.

Another excellent kid with excellent taste in podcasts. It's book week! Esmé is going as the Green Sheep, from the very good book Where Is The Green Sheep by Mem Fox and Judy Horacek. Please send me pictures of your kids in book week costumes, it is my absolute favourite thing.

In this episode I call my work friend, Stu, and I tell him a joke.

Stu is super smart, works super hard, and saves TV shows on the regular. Pretty devastated not to be hanging out in South Africa with him this year, but we'll do our best to recreate the magic in Sydney. Did you know dung beetles navigate by the stars? They are phenomenal creatures, you will not regret finding out more about them here: https://blog.nationalgeographic.org/2013/01/24/dung-beetles-navigate-via-the-milky-way-first-known-in-animal-kingdom/

In this episode I call my step-mum, Sharyn, and my dad, Rick, and I tell them a joke. 

This week Dad and Sharyn went "leaf-peeping" which, aside from being the cutest term in the whole world, is where you go somewhere especially to look at the fall foliage. They live near some of the best leaf-peeping country in the US, and you can look at / be jealous of some of their excellent leaves here.
