Ep 116 - 'Rocking The Onesie'

Published: Feb. 24, 2020, 4:59 a.m.

Join Caroline Wilson and Corrie Perkin for Ep 116 'Rocking The Onesie'. We check in with Corrie and Caro's monthly challenge which has been a success this February. Corrie's instagram hours are declining rapidly while Caro's decluttering is paying dividends. We discuss the backlash when public figures make innapropriate remarks or gaffes. Are we forgiving of genuine mistakes but much less tolerant now of comments that allude to unsavoury attitudes? Caro and Corrie also touch on the new documentary about Adam Goodes The Australian Dream which aired on ABC TV on Sunday. The AFLW season is in full swing and we're starting to see media coverage of players and their sometimes poor performances - is this a sign that the league is growing up? In 'BSF' Corrie sides with Oprah in recommending American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins, Caro's hot screen tips are Temple (SBS on Demand) and The Stranger on Netflix and Corrie shares a simple recipe for brilliant roast potatoes (see recipe below). Caro's grumpy this week about the shoddy clean up by NBN contractors in her neighbourhood and we pay tribute to June Dally-Watkins who died recently aged 92. ROAST POTATOES (ala Susie Rogers Wilson). Choose your potatoes (Corrie likes Deseree or Chat) wash them then boil for 15-20 minutes in salted water until they are softish (but still slightly firm). Cut into halves so you have a flat bottom to place flat on the baking tray or dish. Make a series of close slits accross the top of the potatoes, then drizzle / brush generously with olive oil. Sprinkle on plenty of salt and chopped rosemary. Roast for 45 minutes at around 180 degrees C. My Bookshop Bushfire Recovery Event On Thursday March 26 Corrie will host a very special event with two award-winning authors, actor and writer Magda Szubanski and journalist Margaret Simons, renowned political journalist Barrie Cassidy, and Will Connolly, a young activist who is emerging from the popular “Egg Boy” tag to show his capacity to change the world in which he lives. The event will start at 6.30pm and finish 7.30pm. Tickets are a donation minimum of $100 each and all proceeds will go toward Magda Szubanski and Will Connolly’s Go Fund Me initiative to raise money to support ongoing mental health services in bush fire-affected regions.
