In this episode I call my boyfriend, Josh, and I tell him a joke.

A true hero of the podcast. Somehow yet to be sick of me, even though every night I sit on the couch and tell him the jokes I have planned for the next day, always followed by a slightly aggressive "is that funny??"

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

There's almost nothing better than finding a new thing, and immediately knowing that someone you love is also going to love it. I recently discovered an audio drama series called Forest 404 by the BBC (it came out in 2019), and as I was listening to the first few episodes, I got more and more excited to tell Kate about it. Kate has one of my favourite brains, so I was very chuffed to recommend something, and luckily she liked it too. Go and listen, and be obsessed with the thing we are also obsessed with.

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

Danny is a very funny man, and the best TV warm up person in Australia (probably also the world). He got extra famous writing banners for the Bulldogs, and he co- hosts They Came To Play, a delightful podcast about AFL.

Here's the origami sketch Danny mentioned in the episode. It's an ancient Japanese art.

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

When this podcast was just a brand new podcast baby, and I thought that only my friends and family were listening, a stranger named Melanie messaged me to let me know that she liked it. And it was just such a nice message to get. The very least I could do was call her with a joke to say thank you.

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

I met Emma through our mutual friend Katie, and we've had several truly excellent nights out. Emma is fun, and lovely, and is a guaranteed good time. Can't wait until we can get lost in a crowd again.

In this episode I call my other friend, Chris, and I tell him a joke.

Is there anyone less enthusiastic about this whole idea that Chris? Probably not, but little does he know that this is my favourite kind of reaction, and all he's done is guaranteed himself more calls. Love you, Chris.

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

Welcome back to the best day of the week. I get to see Arty in person this week and I am VERY EXTREMELY EXCITED. Going to try very hard not to cry at him.

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

Celia is Celia Pacquola, who is not only a lovely person, but is also genuinely my favourite comedian. If you want to see an incredible hour of stand-up (and you do), watch her show All Talk on Amazon Prime. And if you want to see a wonderful Aussie comedy that she writes and also stars in (and you do want that), watch Rosehaven.

And if you want to know what Celia's been up to in lockdown, head over to her instagram page and look at the story highlights called "SCIENCE". You won't be disappointed.

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

Got nothing extra to add about Tim this time around, except that I've been looking forward to calling him again since the last time I called him. He's on the TV again this Monday, so (if you live in Australia like we do) make sure you tune in to Channel Ten on Monday at 8:30pm. They will probably put him another cute jumper.

In this episode I call my boss, Rob, and I tell him a joke.

During the long lockdown of 2020, Rob and I both started making sofrito, a Spanish sauce made with capsicum and tomatoes that is delicious with just about anything. We've been comparing batches and tips (my hot tip is to mince up mushrooms and add those for a little extra oomph, Rob's is to let the tomatoes cook down just a *bit* longer than you think you should to make them extra sweet), and honestly we're just bloody loving it. Here is a recipe if you think you'd like to try it yourself: https://www.thespruceeats.com/spanish-tomato-sauce-sofrito-sauce-recipe-3083539
