Listen to episodes of Chat 10 Looks 3

Crabb and Sales are in sync. They have both been consuming works about horror and the art of writing.

Bumbling Brenda stumbled across a podcast that Crabb and Sales recorded and sent to her ages ago! The Warne interview may have come and gone but it is never too late to hear Sales and Crabb discussing fielding positions, sledging tactics and soaking fruit in booze.

Crabb and Sales have been doing some serious reading about people on the margins. Sales still manages to drop a major clang but mercifully doesn’t join the ranks of Michael Caine impersonators.

Crabb revels in her opportunity to drop the phrases “pantry items” and “innovative indexes” while discussing her new cook book. You can hear Crabb’s eyes rolling when Sales claims she could improve on the recipes by adding in “a few extra ingredients” and removing all the capers.

Both Crabb and Sales are getting all judgy from their moral high grounds. Lots of art forms are discussed as well as the new Chat 10 Looks 3 Bookshop.

Sales has written a book and Crabb has read it. Discussion ensues.

Crabb is stunned to discover that Sales is reading and enjoying a book of poetry. Could capers and tuna be on the menu next?

Since Sales and Crabb last met the country has a new Prime Minister. Politics these days seems like a workplace with the conflict buttons dialed up to eleven. 

Sales notes that Crabb seems to know an awful lot about Cocktail, a film she claims to hate so much. Crabb admits that she retains reprehensible details of worthless projects. [Cue: Kokomo sing along] Tom Cruise, Steve Jobs and Brian Mannix all get mentions, which leads to the question: Why do we accept that geniuses and celebrities should be able to act like monsters!?

This somewhat 'vintage' episode from earlier this year is like a perfectly cellared bottle of wine that is now at its prime, ready to be consumed before it starts to turn rancid. Enjoy the fully matured flavours that contain a hint of citrus. (Recorded live at Orange Civic Theatre on 26 May 2018.)

[This episode was recorded just before the sudden death of Dale Sales, legendary Dad and human. He is much mourned.] Crabb feels a bit off kilter when Sales is nice to her for the second episode in a row, but everything returns to normal when she is subjected to some Salesplaining. Crabb and Sales reflect on some recent True Crime Podcasts and whether this format is a beacon of hope for investigative journalism. 

There is only one channel working on the Medieval Contraceptive Recording Device, but this does not stop the monsters. They huddle together to chat on one microphone. Crabb makes a delicious Cauliflower Soup for Sales which initiates a discussion on the Jerusalem Artichoke scale of flatulence. They both ponder writing fiction versus non-fiction and various writing processes. Despite forgetting to record half the discussion, there is almost a full episode!
