No Books Book Club
Naughty bunnies, book reviews, poo balls and women's sheds
Season 4, Ep. 2
•
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'.

3. The Mother of All Calamities, Jon Hamm, V-line and cats vs dogs
32:37||Season 4, Ep. 3Are 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

21. The season for DVD binges and drinking custard from the carton
36:53||Season 3, Ep. 21Cec 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.
Canberra corporate flights, Barnaby Joyce, Grand Designs, Pluribus and Black Friday hell
48:07||Season 3Cec 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?
19. Broken Bones day jobs, Weapons and Too Much
36:59||Season 3, Ep. 19We chat about worming chocolate mishaps, breaking bones and getting a REAL job. Then Row reviews the movie Weapons and Cec reviews Too Much and Crashing. It's nice to be back.
18. Getting the ick, YA fiction, night disco parties and tiger snakes
27:07||Season 3, Ep. 18Certain words give us the ick, find out what Cec's is. Row gets chased by a tiger snake in pursuit of re-wilding with native trees, we look at the marvellous world of YA fiction, and find out what a Night Disco Party is, and why it's not nearly as fun as it seems.

17. Spies, Madonna, collage, cold winters, fire alarms and chasing trains
43:02||Season 3, Ep. 17How 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.

16. Salty book gossip, poo cruises and bushwalks

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.
