Ep 244 - Who's Afraid Of Tom Wolfe?

Sales has watched A Man In Full, and wonders why it hasn't been a global hit. Crabb has a theory, which she unspools at length while indulging her weakness for big-screen megaflops. Also discussed: Miranda July's lady-pleaser All Fours, and Jessie Tu's new novel The Honeyeater.

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.

Ep 233 - Too Ripped To Play Cello

Crabb shows Sales an extraordinary dance routine by Hollywood A-lister Tom Holland (and later is crushed by her teenage daughter acidly informing her that everyone in the world saw that video seven years ago when it first came out). Who cares, because Leigh Sales is touring with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, and Crabb is interviewing Ann Patchett for the Sydney Writers' Festival, so suck on that, kids.
