In this episode we travel to Newcastle to kick off The 9pm Autumn Series 2021 with special guest Carol Duncan — journalist, multimedia producer and Newcastle City Councillor.

We talk about many, many things including her career in radio both commercial and at the ABC, being cool in your life, social media, family tragedies, cheap chocolate, mangroves, and Australian rock legends including Vanda & Young and Midnight Oil.

We’re also joined by a surprise special guest, the Lord Mayor of Newcastle, the Right Worshipful Nuatali Nelmes. We spoke about all the changes in the city since I was last there in 2013, and about coal. She’s also issued me a personal challenge, which I’m now stuck with.
