    Jul 4 2025

    It's award season in the book world and Will has one he would like to give out to a book reviewer.


    This episode, thoughts turn towards political correctness and context. Who are the guardians of morality? When is the right time to discuss tough subjects? How can we use comedy to make a serious point? And why is there not a wanky writers' association?

  • An Australian Bush Tomato With No Stable Sexual Expression
    Jun 19 2025

    On the publication day of Will's new novel, Kill Them With Kindness, he talks about tolerance and intolerance. How a specific tomato can change its sex and how Pope Francis was right about the world.


    Lot's of topics are covered in this episode after having a short break: The 1995 Rugby World Cup, the Suffragette movement, civil rights and the joys of attending an all-boys school.


    Take a trip through time as we discover why the first picture of lightning tells us just how grateful we all should be and why we should try to do a little more than we do.
