@csittenfeld thank you for a terrific book. I’d never in a million years read a romantic comedy. But here I was summer time sandy beach Australia throughly enjoying Romantic Comedy. Funny, heartfelt and tinged with political banter & contentious women’s issues, it made love win.

@ABaillieKaras @rebeccamakkai Anna @ Annie, after listening to this podcast, read Trespasses by Louise Kennedy. What a book! Thank you for your good reading & insights. Love the depth and personal opinions about each and every text.

@thebloodyXroads @THEMONTHLY Richard, reading your article. ‘Placing human freedom and flourishing at the centre of our deliberations’ made my heart skip. I’m an educator on the precipice. Thank you for the good writing…

I have an article on ChatGPT in this month's @THEMONTHLY: #mtr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">themonthly.com.au/issue/2023/apr…

@pepin_neff @abcconvos @rfidler Chris, listening to your conversation with Richard Fidler. Thank you for story and sincerity (& sense of adventure!). It’s wonderful to hear…x

@jdrrr Jason Di Rosso, thank you for an excellent interview with Australian film director Sophie Hyde. It was like listening into like a conversation with two ‘big thinkers’ who love cinema. Thoughtful & inspiring.

@JohnGHendy at The Atlantic. Thank you for your piece on the US senatorJ Ruskin. Loosing a son at such a time & wielding the tools of your political system. A tough time indeed. Insight for an Australian reader.

@HistoryGirlKate @RadioNational @ArtsonRN Happy to read one for you Kate. From an avid listener of The Bookshelf and Me, my shelf and I.

@abcmelbourne Hall and Oats.

Who is this iconic duo? (* Wrong answers only)

@JyeMcNeil congratulations on your win. My dad, in his 70’s, was jumping for joy as you turned into the home straight. He calls you the ‘little mate’ and wishes you all the best with new Bub and the joys of the covid cup.

@CarlosASanchez just read your Atlantic piece. I’m from the state of Victoria in Australia. We have been through over 100 days of lockdown, with still many restrictions in place. Your account is terrifying and a warning to all. Thank you for your sincerity and honesty.

@davidlipson Thank you for the article @davidlipson about reporting from the US and the strain of living in such unusual times. Your family have experienced such stressful moments! What a team you have. And yes, can we send your son some top quality AUS programming?

A personal story about this year: The biggest story of the century is unfolding but it's not safe to cover it abc.net.au/news/about/bac…

@RNBreakfast Hamish, you did try to get policy ideas from your US guests. A very revealing interview of how Americans think about the upcoming election and how ideology can be highly emotive. Just let ‘em talk and it’s amazing what we one begins to learn.

@MelbLawSchool & @RNBreakfast Kristine Rundle’s discussion about government out sourcing re: covid quarantine being an accepted practice both politically and some would say ideologically was on point. Great to hear a deeper discussion about culture than blame game.

@PeterGreste as a concerned member of the public, an Australian women and educator how can I or we help the plight of Kylie Moore-Gilbert? How can we help?

Found this in the Twitter world. A covid sign engulfed by flames. A representation of 2020.

@HistoryGirlKate Thanks @HistoryGirlKate for the reading tip, the likability piece by @drdawnmiranda . Read it at 5.10 am as the Melbourne traffic warmed and thrived our of its lockdown curfew!

@cassiemccullagh And @HistoryGirlKate , loved Julian N’s diction, poise & taste across the podcast superhighway. Who is he? Love to hear more from the man.

@RobbieArnott just finished Flames. Yes, a little late to the party. Your new book already out! But my goodness. I’m glad I got to this novel first. A wonderful read. Beautiful. Thank you for all the hard work. From a mere fan.

@RNBreakfast Richard Roxburg reading the opening to Malouf’s Fly away Peter or The Great Fire by Shirley Hazzard.

@RadioNational # LifeMatters Loved the interviews with Folk who are living internationally. Makes us all connect with how others are feeling and living through this extraordinary time.
