Jane and Fi consider coming out with their own self-help book and muse on the title: ‘Do Less, Be Happier’ or ‘Can I Be Arsed? Probably Not’… the jury is still out. They also chat about wassailing, cat incontinence, and the dangers of star signs.

Plus, best-selling Australian writer Helen Garner discusses her diaries 'How to End a Story: Collected Diaries', and her new book 'The Mushroom Tapes'.

We’re taking suggestions for our next book club pick! The brief is: books that deserve to be re-read.

Our most asked about book is called 'The Later Years' by Peter Thornton.
