Hey there. I'm very excited to share that our fellow radio topia show The Stoop is back

with a new season. Lila and Hanna are the hosts and they are award-winning storytellers

and journalists and I can't wait for their takes on the word auntie or being called

out for not being able to speak the language of your culture. This season there's also

a very intimate conversation with a mom and daughter about succession planning. They get

into blacks, psychedelic culture and so much more. The stoop, it's where you let your

guard down and just get real. Every other Thursday, wherever you get your podcasts and follow

them on Instagram at the stoop podcast.

I was picked up by this adult man. Literally picked up like from the store. Yeah. And what

happened was it was raining and so he held me up and used me as a hat. He was keeping

the rain off his head. I just kind of soaked it up. And then after a while we were undercover

and then he folded me up and I remember he just kind of tucked me under his arm and

I could feel his heart just tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt. Which maybe actually

sounds a little bit irregular. Do you think? But I was really close to him. It was lovely.

Hello, my name is Jennifer and I am a newspaper. I'm the Canberra Times from Monday the 24th

of October 1988. Okay, so you're from 1988 but you're still around. Where have you been

living? I live in an attic. I'm on the floor. Okay. The floor is wooden. I'm not sure what

kind of wood because I've always wondered if maybe we're distantly related. So it's a little

bit awkward. Right. It could be family. I can ride on top of it and I don't know. Well,

let's let me just ask. So what October 24th 1988? What are the big stories that day? There

was a new roundabout put in in a new part of Canberra. That was a pretty big news story. Okay.

A local school got an extension for their public crossing. There are street crossing.
