Ep 69: Don't Wrap It In Plastic Ivy

Crabb will consider reading a promotional book if it includes a blurb from Howard Hughes, Sales will consider reading it if it comes with a Ferrari. In this episode we learn about Barbara Steisand's sister, get some tips on how to deal with the "international marzipan scandal" and find out that Sales thinks Crabb has the sense of humour of a 14 year old boy. • Lincoln in the Bardo - by George Saunders • Hoax - by Clifford Irving • Conversations with Richard Fidler: George Saunders (ABC; 2017 Oct 19; originally broadcast May 2017) • Stories: The Collected Short Fiction - by Helen Garner (The Red Cover) • True Stories: The Collected Short Non-Fiction - Helen Garner (The Blue Cover) • Popular pair to share their stories on stage - Matt Gilbertson (The Sunday Mail; 8 October 2017; p16) • Our Souls at Night (Film) - starring Jane Fonda and Robert Redford. • Our Souls!
