When Caroline Baum and her mother Judith walked into family therapy, Caroline’s first thought was: 'We are going to eat you for breakfast… we are so fucked up…' After all, they had a lot to discuss. At 90 years old, Judith had recently invited herself to come and live with Caroline and her husband and... it wasn't going well. Caroline is a writer, speaker and broadcaster. She has written about the complexities of caring for her mother and trying to navigate the aged care system. And that essay, linked below, was going to form the basis of this conversation. But as you'll hear, there's so much more to discuss. Caroline's story is both highly specific and deeply universal - speaking to the perplexing and often contradictory realities of what it means to care for our parents in their elder years, and how not all narratives are neat and tidy ones of gratitude returned. In fact, some of them end up in therapy. You can follow Caroline Baum here You can listen to Caroline’s podcast about the art of the biography, Life Sentences, here.

The official history of Australia may have forgotten colourful rogues like Tom Ley, but Mudgee painter Michael Bourke has painted a biographical suite of scenes that tell his life story in almost cartoonish images. He talks to Caroline Baum about how Tom Ley became known as Lemonade Ley and how he rose from abject poverty to become a Minister in the NSW government, before travelling to London and being accused of murder. It sounds like fiction, but it’s all true.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Award winning author Kate Grenville has an ambivalent attitude to biography. She leverages this by using its materials, particularly letters, to create an alternative version of events in her novel A Room Made of Leaves, about the colonial figure of Elizabeth Macarthur. But when she came to editing the original letters for a recently published collection, what else did she discover about Elizabeth and the ambiguities of correspondence in the eighteenth century, when news took so long to reach the other side of the world? And when what was left unsaid was sometimes as eloquent as the writing on the page? Kate's thought-provoking conversation with Caroline Baum sheds light on one of the most fruitful but challenging aspects of biographical research.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Katharine Susannah Pritchard (1883 -1969) enjoyed early success as a writer, travelled internationally and married a war hero. Despite seeming privilege, her life was anything but smooth. In this episode, Caroline Baum talks to her biographer Nathan Hobby about uncovering the identity of her married lover, and how she became a passionate and uncritical follower of Soviet Communist ideology while writing novels that were well ahead of their time. What emerges is the portrait of an unconventional woman who spoke and wrote her mind, often at great personal cost.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
When Charmian Clift returned to Australia with her husband George Johnston and their children, they left behind a creative Greek idyll and returned to suburban Sydney at a time of social upheaval. Charmian threw herself into her weekly column on the women's pages of a major newspaper and used it to question whether the country had changed as much as people claimed it had during their absence. Seeing herself as both a migrant and returning expat gave her a unique outsider perspective. She soon developed a huge following for her opinions on everything from the war in Vietnam to the wearing of hats. Her biographer Nadia Wheatley talks to Caroline Baum about how Charmian adjusted to suburbia and how she used her own lived experience and distinctive personal voice to connect with her readers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Caroline Baum talks to the doyenne of Australian biography Brenda Niall on the publication of her memoir, An Accidental Career, about her evolution as a biographer, which coincided with fresh interest in figures in Australian cultural history. Niall reflects on how the status of biography has changed, how she came to write about figures like the Boyd dynasty and the recurring themes of home and displacement as central to her understanding of her subjects, whether writing about painter Judy Cassab or the daunting figure of Archibishop Mannix.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Chaired by Caroline Baum. Bernadette Brennan and Joyce Morgan wrote their excellent biographies in the hope their readers would become readers of their subjects. Bernadette's Leaping Through Waterfalls: The Enigmatic Gillian Mears documents Mears's rich, blazing life, revealing a writer of astonishing gifts and great fearlessness. Joyce's The Countess from Kirribilli is the remarkable story of Elizabeth von Arnim, born Mary Beauchamp in Kirribilli, a prolific writer who became the toast of London, a literary sensation compared to Jane Austen. Both deserve celebration.
Born in the former Czechoslovakia, Tom Stoppard became one of Britain’s most celebratedplaywrights, famous for his wit and intellectual dazzle in plays like Rosencrantzand Gildenstern Are Dead, Jumpers, Travesties, Arcadia, and more recentlyLeopoldstadt. He wears success well, mixing with famous and glamorous friends, marryingtalented women and breaking up with them amicably. As he grows older, hispolitics shift, and he becomes interested in his hidden identity. In 2013 Stoppard invited distinguished biographer Dame Hermione Lee, well-known for her books on Virginia Woolf and Edith Wharton, to tackle his story. She goes at it with formidable stamina, delivering a portrait that is warm and engaging, together with in-depth insight into the themes of his plays. In this candid conversation with Caroline Baum, Hermione Lee explains how she used theprecious resource of his mother’s letters, examined his important friendship withVaclav Havel, and drew together his public and private selves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai's The Mountains Sing is the epic, multigenerational tale of the Tran family, set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War. Spanning the French colonial period to the present day, we follow the lives of matriarch Diệu Lan and her granddaughter Huong. Diệu Lan tells Huong of Vietnam's taboo on discussing “the wrongdoing of those in power, for they give themselves the right to rewrite history.” With luminous prose and a compelling immersive story, The Mountains Sing breaks that silence. Chaired by Caroline Baum
Emily St. John Mandel's exquisite new novel tells of the porous boundaries between past and present, rich and poor, living and dead. The Glass Hotel follows tough and beautiful Vincent, whose fall off a container ship into a storm-tossed ocean opens and closes the book, and of Jonathan, who whisks Vincent off into the “kingdom of money”, but whose wealth is a Bernie Madoff-esque mirage. With its intricate, interlocking narratives, and rich haunting prose, The Glass Hotel is a beguiling puzzle of a book that is a joy to solve. Chaired by Caroline Baum
Based on the oral histories of the Darug people, Julie Janson has said that her ambitious and illuminating new novel, Benevolence, was written as an Aboriginal response to The Secret River. Muraging – a character inspired by Julie's own great-great-grandmother – is given over to the Native Institution as a pupil by her father, a “benevolent” institution providing Christian discipline and education, and thereby becomes the first person in the novel to be sacrificed to the good intentions of the waibala. Chaired by Caroline Baum

The “Great Lock Down” has created unprecedented economic havoc. Literally millions have lost their jobs, as businesses across the nation have gone out. But as Caroline Baum, writing for Market Watch, noted recently a recession can also be an ideal time for an entrepreneur to launch their own start-up. As old business models fail, new opportunities are created. And that's certainly the case today. Across the country we're seeing traditional business which require customers to come into their store. These businesses are struggling, as social distancing, mask wearing and limits on occupancy numbers, has caused these businesses to operate at less than full capacity. And thus reduced their profitability. But there are no such limitations in the online world. No masks, no social distancing when you order from Amazon at home.

Unpaused Founder, Judy Stewart, explains how the seed for the Unpaused project was first planted on International Women’s Day 2011. Renowned journalist and writer Caroline Baum probes Judy about her own pauses and restarts as well as how dramatically the opportunities for professional and corporate women to come back from the career wilderness have improved with the advent of the push for gender equality at work. We hear Judy’s thoughts on how gender equality can be as much an economic opportunity for businesses if they work to retrieve talented women who have taken a career break as it is for the women who are reengaged in the workplace in a meaningful way – that it can be a win-win for both sides.

What do felt hats, flamethrowers, soybeans, and aluminum all have in common? They're all potential targets for new tariffs in the escalating trade dispute between the United States and China. For some time, the US has been trending towards freer and more open trade, culminating the North American Free Trade Agreement and efforts to finalize the Trans‑Pacific Partnership. But that trend may have come to an abrupt halt under an administration that has famously said, "Trade wars are good and easy to win." Here to explain whether or not we're in a trade war already, what that means for the US and China, and what US policy makers should do going forward, are three experts in the field: Caroline Baum, regular contributor to Market Watch Dan Griswold, and Don Boudreaux, co-directors of the Mercatus Center's Program on the American Economy and Globalization Follow Chad on Twitter @ChadMReese.
