The Mother of All Calamities, Jon Hamm, V-line and cats vs dogs

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 10:29:17 GMT

Are cats better than dogs? And can cats be trusted to give snuggles? Cec is on the fence about getting a new furry friend. We then deep dive into the fine art of writing books, as special guest NEW AUTHOR YAY Lisa Moule was deep in the trenches of writing her second novel. We're re-upping this episode from 2026 because Lisa's brand new book, The Mother of All Calamities, has just come out with Allen and Unwin. Go get a copy! Finally, Row has some advice for people wanting to travel to regional Victoria via V-Line (do it!) and Cec talks about Jon Hamm's new TV series, Friends and Neighbours.

Presented and produced by Cecelia Ramsdale, Rowena Murray and Lisa Moule as part of the Broad Radio family.

Naughty bunnies, book reviews, poo balls and women's sheds

Sun, 08 Mar 2026 23:02:08 GMT

Cec and Row were naughty bunnies this week and conveniently forgot that this podcast is actually called the No Books Book Club, and both brought books to discuss. We have a yarn about Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth, which got on Row's radar via the Birds of a Feather book club. Cec has been reading Do We Deserve This? by Eleanor Elliott Thomas. We also touch on the wisdom that comes with age and the rapidly growing Women's Sheds movement. Finally, the Moan Zone is jettisoned for reader suggestions and we managed to stay on theme with a discussion about 'poo balls'.

Canberra corporate flights, Barnaby Joyce, Grand Designs, Pluribus and Black Friday hell

Sat, 29 Nov 2025 09:05:14 GMT

Cec caught the plane to Canberra, saw Barnaby Joyce, and bore witness to Pauline Hanson getting the boot. Then we dived into the nostalgia that is the very long-running Grand Designs, looked at the new Apple TV show Pluribus, and the moan zone featured some terrible Black Friday customer service attitude. Can't a girl just get herself a bargain in peace?

Spies, Madonna, collage, cold winters, fire alarms and chasing trains

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 06:52:40 GMT

How hard is it to get a break right now? Cec found out the hard way when she had a fire alarm disaster mid-massage. Give the girl a cassette of whale music, stat! Meanwhile, Row has been listening to The Spy Who Dressed the Queen, special guest Jo Stanley has been watching The Making of Madonna, Cec has been doing Collage Forage and loving it sick, and Row's Moan Zone is very Winter-centric. Settle in next to a heater, and enjoy.

Salty book gossip, poo cruises and bushwalks

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 10:59:13 GMT

Ever gotten on the back of a motorbike unexpectedly? Cec and Row debate the pros and cons. Meanwhile, we look at The Salt Path controversy, Trainwreck's The Poop Cruise, look at the new WAMA Foundation near Hall's Gap and moan about university computer systems. As Row says, she just wants to be a sleepy bear in a cave and never think about SSO and 2FA again.

Cross-stitch, TV punch-ons, dept.q and fake flavours

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 09:44:43 GMT

Welcome guest Jo Stanley! We’re not ready to retire at 50, sorry not sorry! We learn about Fake Fridays and find out that Jo has been getting crafty with cross stitch, plus Cec has been having a one-woman Netflix binge party, and the focus of her obsession is the new series called dept.q. Row’s been watching the Amazon Prime show Reacher. The Moan Zone is also packed with unnatural flavours, because we all know chicken chips taste NOTHING like chickens.

80's aromas, armchair experts, guys that suck and Handmaid's Tale

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 08:04:40 GMT

There's nothing quite like a flashback, and Cec invoked that very specific Strawberry Shortcake doll nostalgia. We then look at the This Guy Sucked podcast, and after years of trauma, The Handmaid's Tale has come to an end. Finally, the Moan Zone is replete with armchair experts, so Row and Cec stick the boot in.

Rock stars, Tom Cruise, lego, taxidermy and bad mattresses

Sat, 14 Jun 2025 04:34:30 GMT

Have you ever had a rock star encounter? It's clear that some are much cooler than others. Cec paid a visit to the Melbourne Museum to check out the Star Wars Lego exhibition and it had her pining for bad taxidermy and more skeletons, plus Row smashed a choc top at the final Mission Impossible flick. We also enter the Moan Zone of how mattress purchases have changed and why Cec now has half a king bed clogging up her hallway.

We also look at the wars brewing between Nagi and Brooki, the Air Mail digital magazine from the brain of ex-Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, take a peek at the Les Miserable arena show and enter the Moan Zone. We're all in agreement, there are too many subscriptions and they all add up!

Row and Cec take a metaphorical look at the new colour discovery, agree that cats are lovely but a bit weird, and we look at Matt Haig's 'The Comfort Book' and the joys of rewatching Lord of The Rings, especially with a 12-hour food marathon. We think we can put Merry and Pippin to shame on the snacking front. Finally, the Moan Zone solves the hassles of international shoe sizing. Penguins are involved.

Chainsaws, being an author and beautiful beasts

Fri, 02 May 2025 01:24:10 GMT

We do a deep dive into Row's chainsaw skills, which are questionable at best, but she's keen on a 'safety first' approach. Lisa is deep in the novel-writing trenches and we hear about the challenges of having one book ready to go and the other one deep in writing mode, all at the same time. Then Tabitha, Cec's daughter, joins us all to talk about her love for the Beauty and the Beast production currently playing in Melbourne.
