We hope you enjoy.Connected Libraries WebsiteConnected Libraries Facebook PageIn a nook with a book Facebook GroupConnected Libraries Instagram PageConnected Libraries YouTube

In this episode, a conversation with Jane Caro, a commentator, writer and activist, and author of Lyrebird. In this new crime novel, which opens twenty years in the past, ornithology student Jessica Weston recorded a lyrebird mimicking a woman's dying screams and reported it to police, but her claims were dismissed. Now, two decades later, a body is discovered exactly where Jessica had said it would be. Retired detective Megan Blaxland, who originally believed Jessica, returns to lead the reopened investigation. She and Jessica are determined to seek justice for the long-ignored victim, whose death was witnessed only by a bird and her murderer. But as they dig deeper, they uncover dangerous truths that put their own lives at risk.

What an absolute treat it is to have author and high-profile social commentator Jane Caro as our special guest on the Food Bytes podcast this week. With her latest book Lyrebird getting rave reviews, Jane chats about the fascinating story behind it and the realities of life as a writer. We also explore the societal pressures on women over the age of fifty – especially those in media – and Jane’s dream dinner party guest list is one of the most outstanding yet. Oh, and our Food Poll gets slightly shrivelled this week as we pit dried apricots against prunes. Jane Caro photo courtesy David Hahn.

QBD's host Victoria Carthew speaks with broadcaster and author Jane Caro about her latest suspenseful thriller, “Lyrebird”.Twenty years ago, ornithology student Jessica Weston filmed a lyrebird mimicking the dying screams of a woman in the Barrington Tops National Park. Terrified, she took her recordings to the Maitland police to report a murder. Despite support from newly minted detective, Megan Blaxland, no one was reported missing in the area and no body found, so Jessica's claims were mocked and dismissed. Twenty years later, a body is unearthed. Exactly where Jessica said it would be. Jessica and Megan are appalled that the dead woman, whose last moments were heard by only a lyrebird and her killer, has been ignored and forgotten for so long. They both feel they have let the victim down, and are determined to find the killer, whatever it takes. What they do not realise is it is not just their own lives that may be in danger.Purchase “Lyrebird” from your local QBD Books store or online today: https://www.qbd.com.au/lyrebird/jane-caro/9781761471537/ Follow along with QBD Books here: QBD Books on Facebook: www.facebook.com/qbdbooks QBD Books on Instagram: www.instagram.com/qbdbooks QBD Books on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@qbdbooksaustralia

You had better believe I took the day off for the opportunity to chat with Jane Caro! I raced through Lyrebird and was so completely chuffed to have been given the opportunity! Now, I do make mention of it in the intro, but we do inadvertently talk plot a little too much, I honestly do not think it will matter, but if it matters to you this one might be better after you've read Lyrebird x And to join our ReadA Book community head on over to www.readabook.com.au.

While some private schools in Australia fret over the construction of their new waterpolo centres or drama theatres, public schools face more pressing challenges, like whether there's a hole in the roof or enough books for every student.  School funding arrangements across the country are now the concern of Jason Clare, the federal education minister who went to public schools himself. So, how did inequities between public and private get so bad? And could a review commissioned by Jason Clare fix it?  Today, public education advocate and contributor to The Saturday Paper Jane Caro on how Australia needs to fund public schools – and why we're still not doing it.

With annual fees pushing $50,000 at Australia's costliest elite private schools in 2024, it's time to look at what the data says on student performance in the big private vs public school debate. Is it actually worth sending a child to private school? What do they get for that eye-watering amount? Or is public education a better option, even if they don't have the fancy tennis courts and plunge pool? In this episode of The Briefing, authors David Gillespie and Jane Caro reveal what the evidence tells us on what factors actually matter in getting the best education for a child in Australia today.

The teacher shortage across Australia has left public school educators feeling burnt out and undervalued – that's if they haven't already quit.  In NSW, a plan to make the state's teachers among the highest paid in the country helped Labor win the election this year.  But months after entering into pay negotiations, and on the verge of announcing a historic deal, the union is accusing the NSW government of reneging, breaking a core election promise to teachers and severely wounding a relationship that helped the premier to power.  So, what went wrong? Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper and public schools advocate Jane Caro on how teachers keep being let down in Australia.

One way that inequality becomes baked into Australian society is through education.  For decades, the school system has become increasingly stratified – to the benefit of private schools and detriment of public ones. So, what are the consequences of this divide, and how will the past twenty years of education policy shape the Australia we see tomorrow?  Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper Jane Caro on why Australia stubbornly clings onto the myth of education equality and the damage it's doing.  Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram Guest: Contributor to The Saturday Paper, Jane Caro.

As more and more people are diagnosed with conditions like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or Asperger's, are we seeing an epidemic of mental ill-health? Is modern life toxic for our minds? Or are we just recognising conditions that were always there? And is it good to put medical labels on what are just aspects of being human - eccentricity or sadness? Jane Caro of the Mental Health Foundation tells Phil and Roger how greater understanding and recognition of what people are feeling can improve happiness in society.Brought to you by Wigmore Associates Wealth Management Hosted on Acast.

They are seemingly the three hardest words to say in public life: “I was wrong”. The process of changing minds – individually, collectively and culturally – is made that much harder by a political landscape in which admitting uncertainty, confessing error or revealing a change of heart is actively discouraged.

She's not very old (70 this year) but living alone for 2 years of covid seems to have dulled her disproportionately, if that makes sense!” Send your question to feedback@dontshootpod.com.auIn the Cocktail Cabinet for Prince Wine Store, Myles Thompson checks in from Italy and introduces us to La Dama Vini Valpolicella Classico 2020Head to our dedicated Don't Shoot the Messenger page HERE and use the promo code MESS at checkout online to receive a listener discount.

TAKEOVER: Jane Caro wth Maya Linnell

Adam's book Twelve Summers is out now.Twelve Summers is the story of those big memories and the big matches that accompanied them, told by one of the funniest writers in Australia. Today we’re joined by former advertising copywriter turned social commentator turned novelist Jane Caro. It’s impossible not to feel wiser after a conversation with Jane If you suffer anxiety or insecurity and want to turn your life around – then listen in.I first came across Jane on what used to be The Gruen Transfer, then invited her to be on Agony, and was immediately engaged by her clear thinking and the effortless way she gets her message across.Here she talks about the days when being a feminist wasn’t cool, how to freak out someone who is shouting at you, and the wisdom she was taught the morning after her daughter nearly died. SocialsTwitter - Adam ZwarFacebook - Adam Zwar 10 Questions with Adam Zwar is produced in part by Nearly Media.More about Out of the Question: https://www.nearly.com.au/out-of-the-question-with-adam-zwar/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Walkley Award winning Jane Caro has opinions and I was delighted to hear them. Australian feminist icon, lecturer, novelist, non-fiction star, thinker, atheist, stirrer, mother and grandmother; Jane has been rattling her feminist cage for decades now and poking the patriarchy with a big stick. We covered her flooded 'basement', how she overcame her crippling anxiety when her daughter nearly died,  and how civilsation owes its very existence to menopause.  All hail to thee, the goddam older woman.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/pennyashton)
