Something to Eat and Something to Read
Lonely Mouth, hunger and soup
‘Lonely mouth is a Japanese expression. It means, like, you feel like you want to eat something, but you don’t know what it is. You’re looking for just the right thing. But maybe there is no right thing. Maybe you don’t need anything at all.’This episode, we are talking and thinking about Jacqueline Maley’s latest novel, Lonely Mouth. It begins with two young girls being abandoned by their mother at the Big Merino just out of Goulburn and goes on to be the story mostly of the elder sister Matilda, her hungers...

Travelling through books and food
What do you read before you go away? Do you research your trips/holidays through ‘place-rich’ novels? What genre do you prefer while ‘in transit’? How does travel affect the ‘shape’ a book or meal leaves on you (how can it not?). This episode meanders through the above and more, and we hope you enjoy it. We would love to hear about the books you love to read while dreaming of, planning for, and during your own travels.The afternoon we recorded this episode, Germaine had just arrived back from a trip to Germany and the UK, and...

On distraction and finding peace in books and cooking
Welcome to another episode of Something to Eat and Something to Read, a podcast for people who love reading and eating, and talking and thinking about both. In this episode, we're wondering if reading and cooking too much—is there such a thing?—can ever stop us from living. Maybe sometimes we need a pause to give us time to respond to all the stimuli (and there's a lot out there at the moment). After we've had that pause, we've got some good things to read and cook and ways to approach both so they're as nourishing as possible.

Hello, and welcome to the 2025 season of Something to Eat and Something to Read!!!

The Kamogawa Food Detectives and Christmas miracles
It’s been a year… and in the past we have made our Christmas episodes about anticipating good food, extra reading time and getting into the festive spirit. But some years even that can feel too big an ask and the idea of escaping into a magical festive stories where snowman come alive (hello Christmas Days) or a Christmas movie where everything magically works out in the end, or sinking into a quiet thoughtful book of everyday miracles at the table…well that seemed like just the ticket.So we thought we would dedicate this year’s...

Food as a plot point
This episode is mostly about psychological thrillers, and how food and scenes around food can build words, develop characters, turn our stomachs and sometimes if we’re lucky, give us a moment to catch our breath. We love table scenes in books - the table provides a reason and a place for everyone to be together and is a great canvas for a showdown or perhaps to introduce the characters, to flesh them out. This episode’s book, None of This is True, by Lisa Jewell provides us with a few pivotal ‘table scenes’ that propel the narrativ...

Sophie Hansen is a mum of two teens, and she's a food writer living on a farm near Orange in New South Wales. She met her husband through an R.M.Williams magazine (that's a story!) and life on the land is not what she had planned. Sophie grew up in the city and after working in food magazines, had her own Eat Pray Love experience when she packed up and moved to a rural community in Italy for a few years which inspired her love of slow and seasonal food.

The Social Dilemma (2020 Netflix Documentary)
We all know social media manipulates us. We know they're tracking out data. We know it's designed to get us addicted. And yet no matter how many times we are warned about what social media is doing to us, we still use it. Can we really have a healthy relationship with social media, or is it inherently detrimental to our mental health? In this episode, Sophie and Raymond discuss the 2020 Netflix Documentary The Social Dilemma, iHeart's street-art piece Nobody Likes Me, the role of social media in the musical Dear Evan Hansen, and the meaning of community and companionship.

Something to Eat and Something to Read, Episode 3
It’s episode 3 and reading-wise we have a new experience for Sophie and a familiar one for Germaine.

Join us as we enter the world of Nicci French and their latest book The Unheard. This episode also sees us answer a letter about many changes happening in a short space of time and the ways in which adding transitional mome...

Something to Eat and Something to Read, Episode 2
Episode two of Something to Eat and Something to Read in which we discuss Sarah Winman's Tin Man and the shape her other novels have also left on us; along with what happens when relationships disappoint us. The answers may well lie in books that explore relationships that don’t meet expectations, yet end up being something much more fulfilling. And this could also be greatly aided by desserts!

Something to Eat and Something to Read
Something to Eat and Something is a podcast about cooking and reading, and reading about cooking. Hosted by food writer Sophie Hansen and Bibliotherapist/Psychotherapist Germaine Leece; we believe that you should never go anywhere, or for too long, without something to eat and something to read. So every episode we’re going to dive into a book we’ve both read and talk about the ’shape’ it left on both of us. For episode one, we decided to go with a classic, Nora Ephron's Heartburn. And we have a lot of thoughts! Part two is the lis...

Are we ready? Communities respond to a changing climate
Climate Change in Patagonia, by Keegan Pietrak
The podcast analyzes how species diversity is impacted in Patagonia due to climate change and increasing global emissions. In general, if the global temperatures continue to increase, many species are greatly at risk, and although conservation methods such as creating protected lands can greatly increase the chances of survival for certain species, it can only do so much as long as the core issues regarding climate change are not properly addressed. Most of my information was found on the Vanderbilt library database except for my audio (which is from "...
