## Resource

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 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.
