  • Rom coms, cosy Japanese books and potholes
    Jun 29 2026

    Row and Cec have a big hiss about all of the great shows being cancelled by streamers (Netflix and The Boroughs, we're looking at you), we look at kinks about British commemorative tea towels, and ask if Rom Coms are bearable right now, while the world burns? Meanwhile we dip into cosy Japanese reading with The Book You Are Looking For Is In The Library and in the Moan Zone, Row is very amused by a radio station and its competition to find Ballarat's worst pothole.

  • Cosy crime, couch investigations and dog poo etiquette
    Jun 15 2026

    This episode disappeared down the back of the couch but we found it and proudly bring it to you! We discuss Row's appearance on TV, get some cozy crime recommendations for your viewing pleasure and discuss going to book launches and supporting your clever friends. In the Moan zone we decide on the right etiquette for dog owners when disposing of poops, and how far we have come since the 80s version of dog ownership!

  • Hail Mary, Breath, Singing, Madness and more
    Jun 1 2026

    Row and Cec forgot they were making a podcast and started singing instead. That horror over, they covered the joy of surprises in the mail, Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth, Project Hail Mary, the book Breath by James Nestor, then they entered the Moan Zone, where Row revealed that, on the road, she is part of the problem.

  • The nostalgia ep: meat paste, Jaws (the book), Jackie Collins and more
    May 24 2026

    Welcome to the NOSTALGIA episode. Starting with filter coffee and fish paste, Cec and Row moved swiftly into shame food, Flowers in the Attic, Jaws (the book, not the movie) and Jackie Collins, plus we look at repair cafes and the need to have a bit of love for analogue life, and into the pricing shitshow that is major airports. Enjoy!

  • Procrastination, Beasts, Vampire Puzzles, Bad Eyebrows and Bitch Barns
    Apr 27 2026

    Row and Cec enter a new Women's Shed, Bitch Barn, She Shed (whatever takes your fancy), then promptly get sidetracked by Clare Dane's latest, The Beast Within. Then we look at literary puzzles by kicking things off with Bram Stoker's Dracula, then the Moan Zone takes us from bad eyebrows to procrastination. Random, much? Yes, and it's just how we love it!

  • The Mother of All Calamities, Jon Hamm, V-line and cats vs dogs
    Mar 16 2026

    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.

  • Naughty bunnies, book reviews, poo balls and women's sheds
    Mar 8 2026

    Cec and Row were naughty bunnies this week and conveniently forgot that this podcast is actually called the No Books Book Club, and both brought books to discuss. We have a yarn about Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth, which got on Row's radar via the Birds of a Feather book club. Cec has been reading Do We Deserve This? by Eleanor Elliott Thomas. We also touch on the wisdom that comes with age and the rapidly growing Women's Sheds movement. Finally, the Moan Zone is jettisoned for reader suggestions and we managed to stay on theme with a discussion about 'poo balls'.
