What if joy isn’t something we have to chase, but something we simply need to notice? In this uplifting conversation, Bridget McNulty and Jenny Morris celebrate the beauty of everyday life—from the comfort of a favourite meal and the magic of gathering around a table, to the fleeting moments that quietly brighten our days. Together, they explore the connection between food, memory, pleasure and presence, sharing stories, laughter and gentle reminders to slow down and savour what matters most. Warm, joyful and wonderfully life-affirming, this episode is an invitation to find delight in the beautifully ordinary.

Nadine Petrick sits down with Roslynne Toerien for a conversation that moves, quite literally, from the dance studio to the classroom to the page. They talk about grit as a daily practice, the discipline of rehearsal, the patience of teaching, and the steady steps that help build confident readers. Ros shares how rhythm shaped her rhyme, how her work in education informs her stories, and how African wildlife became the thread running through her books. From the teamwork in The Together Two, to the “clean-up crew” in The Scavenging Seven, the night-time world of The Nocturnal Nine, and the energy of The Feathered Five, each book explores animals and learning in different ways. This is a thoughtful conversation about purpose, play and helping children discover the wonder of reading.
