Virginia Trioli (Writer and Broadcaster) - what makes life delicious
from Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani Valent · host A Deep in the Weeds Production
I first remember listening to Virginia Trioli on ABC Radio Melbourne when it was still called 774 and she was doing afternoons. It’s one of the earliest times I remember really listening to radio that wasn’t a football broadcast, engaging with that idea of live storytelling, carrying a city through its celebrations and its sadnesses, and asking questions that were sometimes cosy and sometimes very pointed of the guests. Virginia Trioli is a two-time Walkley-winning journalist. She is the host of ABC TV’s Creative Types and a former host on News Breakfast. We find her today in a different mode: her memoir A Bit on the Side is a lovely pink hardcover book, a series of reflections on what makes life delicious. https://www.instagram.com/latrioli/?hl=en SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.
