			<description><![CDATA[<p>Radio rumours, jungle reunions and a carrot cake challenge, Woody Whitelaw is our first guest at The Open Table, and we’re not easing him in gently.</p><br><p>The Will &amp; Woody radio favourite joins Anna Polyviou, Irene Jones and Stephanie Leung for a conversation that swings from laugh-out-loud stories to the moments that really matter.</p><br><p>Anna wastes no time asking about the Sydney breakfast radio rumours, before Woody opens up about keeping a friendship strong while working together for 15 years. He reflects on supporting his best mate Will through depression, shares his family’s experience of dementia, and explains why making people feel a little better is a lesson he’s taken from his dad.</p><br><p>There’s plenty of mischief along the way: jungle memories with Anna, a night out before breakfast radio, and behind-the-scenes celebrity encounters—from Hugh Jackman’s kindness to an interview that didn’t quite go to plan.</p><br><p>In the kitchen, Anna takes on Woody’s dietary wish list with gluten-free carrot cake muffins, complete with apple, walnut crumble and dark chocolate.
