A peripatetic podcast in which Leigh Sales and Annabel Crabb discuss what they're reading, watching, cooking, listening to or irrationally exhilarated by.
One of them likes show tunes and is a monster who chucks books once she's read them. The other one wrote this.
Most of this podcast is spent discussing serious literature and viral online treats, but Crabb will remember nothing past Leigh Sales’ truly startling substitute for caviar in a dessert recipe.
It’s the 50th anniversary of the iconic film Taxi Driver, which gives Sales an opportunity to misquote its most famous line.
Award-winning journalist Leigh Sales confesses that she forgot she'd interviewed STEVE WAUGH, one of the nation's least-forgettable cricketers. And she Salesplains Deadloch to Crabb, having no recollection that Crabb herself talked about this very funny show, to Sales, in some detail, just two weeks ago.
Crabb's been on holiday to Vietnam, where she ate all the things and read some books. Sales has come round on The Diplomat. Updates as they come to hand.
Chat 10 is back in Chatter heartland in Sydney's inner west, at the Enmore Theatre, for a live podcast recording! The stage crew won't have seen rock and roll living like it, as Annabel Crabb and Leigh Sales head backstage with riders including a supply of tea bags, a request for amps to be turned down to 3 and an iron and ironing board. Come along to laugh, meet other chatters, and hear about the latest in books, TV, culture and whatever else diverts our interest that day!

Remember when Leigh told Annabel she’d run a Creative Journaling Workshop at the Gold Coast retreat — and Annabel nearly lost it laughing? She pictured tortured artists and paint-splattered notebooks, only to discover it was just Leigh… showing people how to write in their journals a bit more creatively.
Naturally, we turned the joke into merch.

Say adieu to unpleasant bathroom odours with No 2 Drops, specially formulated to eliminate embarrassing smells and smugly replace them with a bundt-inspired scent.
A curated blend of high-quality essential oils, No 2 Drops work like magic to neutralise poo pongs and leave a more lovely loo. Whether you’re at home, or caught short at your cello teacher’s house, you can discreetly carry this secret toilet weapon wherever you go.
Instructions:
Just add a few drops into the toilet bowl before you - ahem - go, and let the powerful formula do its job. The drops instantly create a protective layer on the water’s surface, trapping odours beneath it and releasing the refreshing aroma of essential oils instead. If you’re taken by surprise by your - er - business, you can always add the drops afterwards.
Sign up for our somewhat sporadic, definitely shambolic email, containing podcast news, events, merch, tips on what to read, watch, cook - and silly stuff we let Crabb and Sales put in.
The next one will be coming out soon(ish).
