Road rage, bonkbusters and sky rivers

Season 2, Ep. 7

This week on No Books Book Club, we're trying out this remote podcasting thing as Row continues to break the rules and brings a book, the stunning 'There Are Rivers In the Sky' and Beck and Cec have both been diving into bonkbuster TV with 'Rivals' and 'Nobody Wants This'. Finally, Cec gets into the issue of road rage, beseeching for calm while Row is on team horn smasher.


Presented and produced by Cecelia Ramsdale, Beck Lewis and Rowena Murray as part of the Broad Radio family.

  • 13. Rock stars, Tom Cruise, lego, taxidermy and bad mattresses

    35:11||Season 3, Ep. 13
    Have you ever had a rock star encounter? It's clear that some are much cooler than others. Cec paid a visit to the Melbourne Museum to check out the Star Wars Lego exhibition and it had her pining for bad taxidermy and more skeletons, plus Row smashed a choc top at the final Mission Impossible flick. We also enter the Moan Zone of how mattress purchases have changed and why Cec now has half a king bed clogging up her hallway.Presented and produced by Cecelia Ramsdale and Rowena Murray as part of the Broad Radio family.

  • 11. Handbag butter, Air Mail and Nagi vs Brooki

    32:28||Season 3, Ep. 11
    Would you eat emergency handbag butter? And do you have an internal monologue? We also look at the wars brewing between Nagi and Brooki, the Air Mail digital magazine from the brain of ex-Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, take a peek at the Les Miserable arena show and enter the Moan Zone. We're all in agreement, there are too many subscriptions and they all add up! Presented and produced by Cecelia Ramsdale and Rowena Murray as part of the Broad Radio family.
  • 10. Comfort in penguin feet, science, Matt Haig and LOTR

    28:09||Season 3, Ep. 10
    The comfort episode! Row and Cec take a metaphorical look at the new colour discovery, agree that cats are lovely but a bit weird, and we look at Matt Haig's 'The Comfort Book' and the joys of rewatching Lord of The Rings, especially with a 12-hour food marathon. We think we can put Merry and Pippin to shame on the snacking front. Finally, the Moan Zone solves the hassles of international shoe sizing. Penguins are involved.Presented and produced by Cecelia Ramsdale and Rowena Murray as part of the Broad Radio family.
  • 9. Jon Hamm, V-line, cats vs dogs and the art of writing books

    32:02||Season 3, Ep. 9
    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 Lisa is deep in the trenches of writing her second novel. 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.

  • 7. Chainsaws, being an author and beautiful beasts

    30:25||Season 3, Ep. 7
    We do a deep dive into Row's chainsaw skills, which are questionable at best, but she's keen on a 'safety first' approach. Lisa is deep in the novel-writing trenches and we hear about the challenges of having one book ready to go and the other one deep in writing mode, all at the same time. Then Tabitha, Cec's daughter, joins us all to talk about her love for the Beauty and the Beast production currently playing in Melbourne.

    38:00||Season 3, Ep. 5
    The joys of an excellent YouTube wormhole are second-to-none when it works, and we also ask the question - should funerals and families mix?
