Anna and Annie discuss the 2025 Women's Prize Shortlist.

Our book of the week is MEMORIAL DAYS by Geraldine Brooks, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of HORSE. This is a moving and honest memoir of Brooks' time grieving her late husband Tony Horwitz and also a portrait of their marriage. Partly set on a remote island off the coast of Tasmania, it is our final Australian book for #AussieApril.

Coming up: FUNDAMENTALLY by Nussaibah Younis.
