Re-Release: Trent Dalton on Boy Swallows Universe and what makes a good man.
This week we're re-releasing an episode featuring Trent Dalton. The adaptation of his book, Boy Swallows Universe, is currently a hit on Netflix. Angie and Trent talked about the book in 2019 when it came out.
Finding meaning in sadness, defining the different types of love and looking at the complexities of masculinity, are the overarching themes in Trent Dalton's novel, Boy Swallows Universe. Trent shares with host Angela Ledgerwood how he used this book to put a positive spin on some of the sadness of his past and how he used his character, Eli, to explore what a do-over on his life would have looked like.

Bianca Bosker on her unexpected wine obsession and how it upended (and enriched) her life.
Angie speaks with award-winning journalist Bianca Bosker about how hearing of the existence of ‘The Best Sommelier in the World Competition’ sparked an obsession to become a sommelier herself, a decision that upended her life and led to her best-selling book Cork Dork: A Wine-FUELED Adventure Among The Obsessive Sommeliers, Big Bottle Hunters, and Rogue Scientists Who Taught Me to Live for Taste. We also touch upon her latest obsession—the art world—which will be captured in her forthcoming book, Get the Picture: A Mind-Bending Journey among the Inspired Artists and Obsessive Art Fiends Who Taught Me How to See, out February 6, 2024. Bianca will be back on the pod in February, to talk about her next riveting read!

Customer Reviews
Lisa Taddeo
Absolutely loved this interview with the author of Three Women. Insightful, intelligent and thoughtful conversation between two writers about how the book became what it was. The best interview I have listened to with her.
Intelligent discussions
Thank you for this smart podcast. Angela I love your interview style. I love the quiet nature of these interviews missing so often in podcasts.
Amazing interviews
I subscribed to this after watching Angela elegantly handle an interview during noise and evacuation at the Sydney Writers Festival. Listen to this not just for the writers, who are amazing, but for how Angela creates an incredible space for them to open up and have new insights about their work and lives.
