    Ep 393 - Live from the Sorrento Writers Festival

    This is our live recording from the Sorrento Writers Festival – With Caroline Wilson hosting, alongside Anna from the Op Shop. Special guests include the wonderful Rebecca Armitage, and Will Ross joins us from the Portsea Estate. Rebecca Armitage, is a great friend of the pod – the Tasmanian-based ABC journalist whose 'The Heir Apparent' received a rave review from Corrie over the summer and was named as the December 2025 pick for Reese (Witherspoon's) Book Club. A timely chat given Rebecca's long-time coverage of the Royal Family, Harry and Meghan's game changing recent Australian visit and our passion for Tasmania where this international page-turning novel - with a number of twists and several recognisable royal characters - is largely set.
