Chat 10 Looks 3

Sales insists on showing Crabb visual jokes about music notes while cry-laughing. Yes, it's one of those episodes. Crabb gets her own back by eating a box of delicious treats dropped off by a listener - and we have the recipe! There's a row over who's hogging the chat but there's only one loser - tuba players. Again. Shownotes: http://www.chat10looks3.com/ep58

Spoiler alert! Crabb and Sales watch the first episode of the new season of The Americans and tell you all about it. The conclusion: "it has to end in catastrophic doom!!" The chat then turns into a Richard-Fidler-love-fest. Sales reveals that a few years ago she was lucky enough to conduct a rare interview with him about his life. (Brenda has proof on a USB stick).

Recorded backstage at the Sydney Writers Festival. Sales and Crabb dissect the history of Donald Trump's hair and how it feels to 'witter' away at one of your favourite authors. There is a sweet anecdote about Roger Moore, plus discussion about John McCain and how nostalgia has become a refuge.  Shownotes: http://www.chat10looks3.com/ep56

Beginning with a touching discussion on early motherhood, holocaust survivors and scholarship recipients, Sales and Crabb then have a stab at poetry appreciation. "Look on this podcast, ye mighty, and despair". Thankfully the chat moves on to some new TV and podcast recommendations! Shownotes: http://www.chat10looks3.com/ep55

From the Nobel Prize Ceremony and the Logies to giant rabbits and chickens, Sales and Crabb have it all covered. Mia Freeman, Patti Smith get a mention and of course the new season of Veep!  Shownotes: http://www.chat10looks3.com/ep52

Deux, derr, DUH! (Crabb and Sales go all out with their French pronunciation skills). A diverse range of topics are whized through: the Dixie Chicks concert, John Howard as Mark Colvin, books on political intrigue, the S-Town podcast from Alabama plus the art of writing a weekly column. There are plenty of distractions, including rose gold laptops and whether Crabb has left it too late to pick up the kids on time. (Shownotes: http://www.chat10looks3.com/ep51)

The 50th episode! Surely not? There is plenty of clanging, including some competitive clanging over Armando Iannucci. Sales has been getting chummy with Iannucci and Bill Nighy, while Crabb has been hanging out with the world’s 50 best chefs. There is an hysterical meltdown over a list of the 2017 AFL players’ names. (Shownotes: http://www.chat10looks3.com/ep50

So soon, but here they are again!  Crabb and Sales discuss hospital visits, the Missing Richard Simmons podcast plus new books and TV. Inadvertently Crabb’s mum, Christobel, becomes the first ever Chat 10 Looks 3 phone interview. Who is the mysterious Tony Jones look-a-like who is hanging around?

To top it off there is the important discovery that Crabb and Sales have a mutual love of the number 12. http://www.chat10looks3.com/ep48

Summer viewing and reading has thrown up all sorts of questions for Crabb and Sales: Why are they attached to Prince Phillip? How can you turn shitty audio quality into art? Will they ever be able to go for a whole episode without mentioning Helen Garner? Plus should they write their own theme tune? Shownotes: http://www.chat10looks3.com/ep47

It is one week until Christmas and the year is nearly over. Grab a glass of champagne and some snacks and join Crabb and Sales a they discuss the best of 2016. (Hang on! How long is this episode!?) Shownotes: http://www.chat10looks3.com/ep46

Sincerely apologetic about the audio quality from the last episode, Crabb and Sales lock themselves away in a silent office to talk of recent adventures at Parliament House and how great it was to see Helen Garner featured in the New Yorker. Although it is nice and quiet, there is plenty of clanging going on. JD Vance’s book is discussed, plus what politicians say they will be reading over summer. Shownotes: http://chat10looks3.com/ep45

(Warning: bad audio quality!) Sales takes Crabb to a new café but tells her the incorrect name of the place – mistaking the band 'Something for Kate' for the café 'Something for Jess'. The bad news is Crabb will never be able to find it again. The good news is there’s something for everyone in this episode, from American politics to raspberry mousse. http://chat10looks3.com/ep44
