Leigh Sales has been hate-watching a terrible TV series. Why do we watch things we know are bad? Both of our narrators have VIEWS on this. On the upside, Crabb has read a terrific book. (1.40) Firefly Lane | Netflix | Trailer (6.30) Good Girls | Netflix | Trailer (8.00) Sex In The City | Binge | Original Trailer  (9.00) Emily in Paris | Netflix | Trailer (11.30) Behind Her Eyes | Netflix | Trailer...

Sales has read only one book ahead of an interview with Bill Gates but luckily Crabb compensates by making a hefty dent in her bedside table reading stack. (1.00) The Truth About Her by Jacqueline Maley (3.40) The Child In Time by Ian McEwen (8.00) The Children Act by Ian McEwen  (10.30) Bright Burning Things by Lisa Harding (13.00) 50 Risks to Take With Your Kids by Daisy Turnbull (17.10) How to...

Sales has a new celebrity crush while Crabb’s fandom when it comes to men of note remains firmly rooted in 1980s London. (0.40) The Picture of Dorian Gray by Sydney Theatre Company (3.20) Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh on Audible  (4.10) The Alan Clark Diaries - In Power 1983-1992 by Alan Clark on Audible (5.40) Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey on Audible (11.00) Blowing The Bloody Doors O...

The pair (freshly de-raddled by a summer break which Sales appears to have spent in a series of ocean pools) attempt to recap their prodigious summer cultural consumption but are swiftly derailed by an in-depth discussion of chess. Plus, which former US President just can't stop DM-ing Crabb, and which magazine recently rated Sales among Australia's Sexiest? (4.40) @barrackobama twitter  (6.20) Br...

Trudging towards the end of 2020, Crabb and Sales come together one last time. Ordinarily this end-of-year reckoning would occur on stage at the ANU amid low-grade insults directed at vice-chancellor and Bundt-auteur Brian Schmidt, but as with many pleasurable events in 2020 it was binned. Screw you, 2020! With their remaining nanoparticles of neural capacity, the pair recap what they can remember...

Staggering to the end of 2020, Crabb and Sales's attention spans are so completely shot that they can't retain anything they've seen or read. Still, Annabel loved The Crown, especially the standout performance by Gillian Anderson's jaw; and Leigh has finally got onto Cheer. Theatre is back! And the next instalment of (CLANG!) Garner's memoirs is out. They're both looking forward to reading the boo...

Crabb's been RUNNING! And reading novels in verse! And Sales seems now to be obsessed with a TV series about Barbecue, featuring chefs who incinerate first and ask questions later. Don't panic though. Sales has been interviewing musicians and *accidentally* finding herself right next to a piano. So the world's still at least partially on its axis.  (1.00) Couch to 5k App (4.00) Chef’s Table BBQ |...

Well, what a surprise. Sales has received some personal blowback for her recent excoriation of anyone who's ever given her a scented candle. Crabb enjoys Sales' shame but has also recently killed her laptop with duck fat so... swings, roundabouts. Sales is loving the new Judd Apatow series Love and is permitted two minutes ONLY on the Song Exploder episode with Lin Manuel Miranda. Meanwhile Crabb...

That's what she reckons anyway, though Crabb has left open a legally-enforceable (with the right lawyer) defence for saving them in this discussion of self-analysis arising from Sales' recent reading of a novel about group therapy. Setting their own petty scribblings aside however, Sales and Crabb have each read a "major publishing event" novel; Sales has done Richard Flanagan's latest and Crabb i...

Warning: This episode contains confronting material for anyone who's ever given Leigh Sales a scented candle as a gift. While Crabb frantically scrolls through past gifts, the pair review the Cathy Freeman doco, and consider the return of live theatre and music to Sydney. Crabb's watched a terrifying doco about how boys are politicised in Texas, and Sales has interviewed Donald Trump's former pres...

Sales is finding Dirty John 2 riveting, even though Connie Britton and her perfect hair aren't in it. The conversation then goes very dark, as Crabb has been on a crime (reading) spree, covering serial killers, rapists, drug dealing, drive-by shootings and domestic violence. Happily, we end with Schitt's Creek - and a final rake over Annabel's red shoes shame. *Listeners are advised that this conv...

Crabb's been enjoying Julia Gillard's new book on women and leadership, while Sales has fawningly returned to the Chatter adulation-well for an interview with Yotam Ottolenghi. Once again, some of his suggestions (including, bafflingly, putting a vegetable on a char grill) prove "too hard" for Princess Leigh. Crabb pulls out her trump card: She's in touch with Marina Hyde. But then throws away wha...

Crabb is still obsessed with Curtis Sittenfeld while Sales wants to throttle a friend who got her hooked on the equivalent of a Spanish soap opera. Both find a rare moment of agreement to recognise a couple of podcasts about grace and redemption. Crabb's been at the cooking sherry again, probably. (1.20) Sisterland by Curtis Sittenfeld (3.20) The Details by Tegan Bennett Daylight  (6.20) Indian Ma...

The conversation is on serious intellectual territory when it suddenly takes an unexpected handbrake turn into shark pickling. (2.00) Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid (4.00) A Lonely Girl is a Dangerous Thing by Jessie Tu (5.00) Cover art by Akiko Chan (8.00) Monkey Grip by Helen Garner (8.10) Head On Film based on the book Loaded by Christos Tsiolkas (8.50) The Trout, Music Film of 1969 with Du Pré,...

Crabb and Sales talk exclusively in this episode about watching Hamilton on Disney+. If you are not interested in Hamilton, you are safe to skip this episode without missing anything else.

Sales gets on an unstoppable run of singing theme tunes from TV sitcoms but Crabb gets her own back by getting on an unstoppable run about Christopher Pyne. (0.15) The Great | Trailer | Stan (0.50) The Bureau | Trailer | SBS On Demand (6.10) Dexter Opening Credits (6.25) Mad Men Opening Credits (8.25) Succession Opening Credit (8.40) Gilligan's Island Opening Credits (9.10) I Dream of Jeannie Open...

Sales has interviewed John Bolton about his remininscently-of-something-named memoir, The Room Where It Happened. This kicks off a discussion Crabb has been mulling over for a while: If you work with an out of control megalomaniac, what is your obligation to society? The space-adorability continuum develops a serious pleat when Sales listens to a podcast involving Yotam AND Lin-Manuel. And Crabb's...

Sales is cross at one of the characters in the wildly-popular Normal People while Crabb has been deep inside an alternate reality where Hillary Rodham never married Bill Clinton. (1.30) Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld (6.40) The Witches Are Coming by Lindy West (6.50) Lindy West is Preaching to the Choir Interview by Sara Fredman | Longreads.com (11.30) Anatomy of a Fake News Scandal by Amanda Robb |...

Sales is insufferable after netting two of the biggest fish on her interview wishlist but Annabel brings her down a peg or two by crabbsplaining the correct way to prepare a bundt tin. (1.20) Lin Manuel Miranda Interview with Leigh Sales (4.00) Rent at the 1996 Tony Awards | Playlist (5.40) Hamilton Movie on Disney Plus July 3 (11.00) Ricky Gervais Interview with Leigh Sales (16.30) After Life Sea...

Interspersed with prudent blasts of a popular brand of aerosol disinfectant, Crabb and Sales tackle the runaway hit TV version of Sally Rooney's Normal People. It has an "intimacy consultant"! And you'll need one when you read the sex scenes between George W and Laura Bush in The American Wife, which Crabb's only just heard about (typically) even though it was famous years ago. And Sales finally r...

Leigh perplexed (and not-quite-convinced) us all a while back when she suddenly professed a knowledge of cricket. Now she's got all Salesplainy about basketball via the new TV doco The Last Dance. Plus: what happened to Val Kilmer? (4.10) 'It can happen to anybody'. How Glen-Marie Frost went from society doyenne to public housing tenant by Jane Cadzow - Good Weekend (9.20) National Debt Hotline -...
