    82: Burnt at the Stake: Witch Trials, Ignorance, Fear, and Superstition

    Louise and Virginia dive deep into historical witch trials, told through four fictional stories, based on real events from the 17th and 18th centuries. They discuss the fact that much of the ignorance and prejudice against women in particular,  sadly remains in the 21st century. On a lighter note they have also been diving into two great TV shows.   Books   The Witching Tide by Margaret Meyer The Wax Child by Olga Ravn The Names of a Hare by Bernice Barry The Last Witch of Scotland by Philip Paris   TV   The Dry   The Other Bennett Sister   Instagram @diving_in_podcast Song ‘Diving In’ – Original music and lyrics written and performed by Laura Adeline – https://linktr.ee/llauraadeline Podcast sound production and editing by Andy Maher Graphics by Orla Larkin – create@werkshop.com.au

    80: Five Mothers – impactful, present and absent

They randomly chose to read books without any planned theme this time, but interestingly all five books feature mothers who impact their children in very different ways.

    79: The Changing Preoccupations of a local Treasure, Tim Winton

    Louise and Virginia discuss two big novels by Western Australian Living Treasure, Tim Winton, which reflect his, and our, changing concerns over a 35 year period. There’s much to think about here. On a lighter note Virginia has a new member of her family who is causing chaos!  Lou and Virginia also discuss a few TV shows and a podcast they’ve been diving into.

    78: A Useful Idiot (and we’re not talking about a British Royal here)

    Louise and Virginia had a lot of fun and laughs discussing the first two novels in William Boyd’s trilogy. Gabriel’s Moon and The Predicament are both great stories about an accidental spy set against the background of actual events in the 1960s, and there was much to discuss. They also talk about a couple of other things they’ve been watching and enjoying.

    75: Teen Sleuths, Cringe Parents and Dysfunctional Families

    Louise and Virginia dive deep into all thing’s books for Teen Readers, books categorised ‘Young Adult’ but marketed to teenagers.  They discuss the creation of the category, whether publishers should provide some sort of classification system, or content advice as well as four great books and one book that, whilst very gripping,  is surely mis-categorised - to Virginia’s dismay!  As always they finish the conversation with a few other things they’ve been diving into recently.   Books Return to Sender by Lauren Draper Five Survive by Holly Jackson Bear by Kiri Lightfoot What’s Murder Between Friends by Meg Gatland-Veness My Family and Other Suspects by Kate Emery   Other things JournalTok   Television  Three Families – ABC iView   Film Rental Family   Email hello@divinginpodcast.com Instagram @diving_in_podcast Song ‘Diving In’ – Original music and lyrics written and performed by Laura Adeline – https://linktr.ee/llauraadeline Podcast sound production and editing by Andy Maher Graphics by Orla Larkin – create@werkshop.com.au
