Fitzroy Diaries is back, and this time, the streets are bare, everyone’s stuck at home. There are numbers that come in daily, and they seem to colour everything. But there are new neighbours to get to know, old friends to stumble on, and a pile of cardboard boxes threatening to topple over at any moment.

S3 08 | Warning: Gayle’s punch
What would Fitzroy be without the occasional street party? Life’s good, and it might not stay this way forever, and who knows what’s coming, but a day with fruit punch, a speech and some dancing makes everything seem okay.
-
S3 07 | Everybody loves Darren
A walk with an old friend, a romance confirmed, and the making of a citrus cake. Honestly, does life get any better than this? Even with all the flour on the floor? And on the bench? And everywhere?
-
S3 06 | A new friend who is also an old friend
Fitzroy’s mood seems to be lifting, as a little bit of hope seems to fill the air. Phone numbers are swapped, and the idea of a party starts to take shape. Could life be returning to normal? Could it really be possible?
-
S3 05 | Neighbourhood rescue
A glorious run, alone in the world, turns into a neighbourhood rescue, in which walls are climbed, ambulances are called, and useless ladders are held. Amidst the drama, a romance is unfolding before our very eyes. We think so, anyway.
-
S3 04 | Maths is all around us
There are teddy bears in windows, and numbers in our ears, and maths is all around us. And that’s just on the morning walk. The only sure thing is that Mum needs a coffee. Mum really needs a coffee.
-
S3 03 | The woman in the jellybean car
Does time even exist? Did last week actually happen? Is it midday already? And what about that time, all those years ago, when you had your best friend close by? And how does it all change when here she is, in front of you, after all these years?

Love love love this podcast
Beautifully written and performed. Engaging stories about day to day life with a cast of colourful characters. The author weaves thoughts about minuscule details such as door colours, window teddies and fence-peeing, with large ideas of relationships and death. I was so excited for Season 3 and now I am sad I’ve finished. I will go back and start listening from the beginning of Season 1 again!
Real, happy, hilarious
Stories that sound like poetry! I love the realism, the descriptions, and the humor that sneaks up on you. This is a great mix of what’s happening and what many of us might be thinking in similar situations. LOVE IT!!!
Lovely
Absolutely lovely. Basically a movie for your ears
