Once again, Jamila Rizvi and Astrid Edwards consider the world through the lens of reading and books.

Chapter 1: So, what is politics and why does it matter? And what do books have to do with politics anyway?

Chapter 2: Jamila delights in revisiting the revised and updated edition of Julia Baird's 'Media Tarts'.

Chapter 3: Astrid presents Marion Wilkinson's 'The Carbon Club: How a network of influential climate sceptics, politicians and business leaders fought to control Australia's climate policy' and explains why it should be one of the few books that should stay in print for decades.

Recommendations: Jamila gushes over the biography of Bob Hawke 'Wednesdays with Bob', written by Derek Rielly and Bob Hawke himself. Astrid brings some light into her reading choices and recommends 'The Future We Choose: The stubborn optimist's guide to the climate crisis' by Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac.

Join us on Thursday for an interview with journalist and reporter Annika Smethurst.
