Ep 251 - Tis The Season

Once again, by accident this poorly-coordinated pair has stumbled into a theme. Women telling powerful and wide-ranging stories, including the counter-cultural paean to young men that is Helen Garner's latest. Starting a story and not knowing how it's going to end? Nothing more dangerous, nothing more exhilarating, especially in the hands of a skilled craftswoman. Tis the Season! Yule not be disappointed by this lineup; Naomi Klein, Pamela RAAAABE, Steph Tisdell and Virginia Trioli. Okay we'll see ourselves out.

Ep 240 - But Wait! There's Moor!

In the ultimate grift, Crabb and Sales hit London's Royal College Of Music and conjure the High Priestess herself - MARINA HYDE!!!! - in honour of Chat 10 Looks 3's tenth birthday. Ms Hyde, who somehow remains fresh as a daisy after the British election, submits graciously to the birthday pair's fervent genuflection and nervous self-abasement, in particular Leigh Sales' extended soliloquy about moors, and what makes them different from, for instance, heaths.
