  • Rachel Fox McLeod & Hannah Gould
    May 21 2026

    Today we speak with two very different authors on the podcast. Rachel Fox McLeod chats with Courtney about her debut novel 'Disgraceful' - a hilarious and moving debut novel about a woman who writes a ‘f*ck-it’ list to reclaim herself after her marriage unexpectedly implodes.

    Then Sam speaks with Hannah Gould about her thought-provoking book 'How to Die in the 21st Century' - If you have ever wondered about alternative funerals, modern grief, sustainable burial options or simply how to begin the conversation about death, this is the book you've been waiting for.

    We hope you enjoy!

    May 7 2026

    Today we invite back Adelaide writer Victoria Purman onto Book Matters to chat about her new novel The Marriage Trap - A charming but pointed look at the tumultuous extraordinary decade of the 1960s, and the effects of the pill, rebellion and new ideas on ordinary Australian women as alongside shorter skirts and the Beatles. We hope you enjoy!

  • Back to Chat - Fiona Lowe
    Apr 30 2026

    In this episode we are bringing back one of our most popular writers to see what they have been up to since we last spoke with them.

    We spoke to Fiona Lowe in 2021 about her novel 'A Home Like Ours' so it was great to bring her back to chat about her latest novel 'The Drowning'.

    We hope you enjoy.
