No Books Book Club

Row and Cec forgot they were making a podcast and started singing instead. That horror over, they covered the joy of surprises in the mail, Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth, Project Hail Mary, the book Breath by James Nestor, then they entered the Moan Zone, where Row revealed that, on the road, she is part of the problem. Hosted and produced by Rowena Murray and Cecelia Ramsdale.Proudly part of the Broad Radio family.

Welcome to the NOSTALGIA episode. Starting with filter coffee and fish paste, Cec and Row moved swiftly into shame food, Flowers in the Attic, Jaws (the book, not the movie) and Jackie Collins, plus we look at repair cafes and the need to have a bit of love for analogue life, and into the pricing shitshow that is major airports.

Row and Cec enter a new Women's Shed, Bitch Barn, She Shed (whatever takes your fancy), then promptly get sidetracked by Clare Dane's latest, The Beast Within. Then we look at literary puzzles by kicking things off with Bram Stoker's Dracula, then the Moan Zone takes us from bad eyebrows to procrastination. Random, much? Yes, and it's just how we love it!

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.Music by Maksym Malko from PixabaySound Effect by freesound_community from Pixabay Sound Effect by Aman Kumar from Pixabay 

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'.

We're back, baby. Our first episode for 2026 (Season 4 can you believe it!) where we take a look at tribute bands thanks to the movie Song Sung Blue, inappropriate facial hair, Tokyo Disneyland, plus we have a crowd-sourced Moan Zone thanks to one of our lovely listeners.

Cec has been listening to the ABC's 'No One Saw it Coming' podcast, Row has been walking barefoot to Mordor with Frodo and Sam via the FULL full-length LOTR audiobook, we debate about whether Die Hard (the first one) is a Christmas movie and, we send our love to all those people who work over Christmas time. Thank you for joining us this year, it's been awesome.

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?
