On the Rag: Everything you’ve ever wanted to ask Clementine Ford

Women and stuff
IMG_5260

A very special episode with thanks to our friends at The Women’s Bookshop. 

They said it couldn’t be done. They said we couldn’t get Clementine Ford back to do another pod. But we did, and here it is. Promoting her new book Boys Will Be Boys, Clementine spends an hour in The Spinoff studio to answer everything you’ve ever wanted to know about feminism, the patriarchy, and dealing with goblins and/or trolls.

What is toxic masculinity? How does she feel about ACT kicking up a stink over her speaking event? And what does “boys will be boys” really mean in 2018? Pour yourself a glass of strong something and get involved with the official hashtag #otrpod, or click here to like us on Facebook. And then when you’ve done all of that, check out The Women’s Bookshop top ten bestsellers for November:

1) Milkman by Anna Burns
2) Flourish: NZ Women & Their Extraordinary Gardens by Barb Rogers & Juliet Nicholas
3) The Writing Life: Twelve New Zealand Authors by Deborah Shepherd

    Dietary Requirements: The great bay leaf conspiracy, Kiwi onion dip and a world exclusive VIP guest

    dietary requirement

    Dietary Requirements is The Spinoff’s monthly podcast in which we eat, drink and talk about it too, with special thanks to Freedom Farms and Fine Wine Delivery Co.

    This month on Dietary Requirements, we are joined in the studio by an extremely special guest: Rosemary Mount (née Dempsey), the legend who invented Kiwi onion dip. We learn about her death and resurrection, and Rosemary shares some technical tips for nailing this national delicacy every time you make it, answers fans’ questions and weighs in on a conundrum for the ages: are bay leaves bullshit? We also do a live blind tasting to test the effects – if any – of the bay leaf’s powers.

    Meanwhile, the pod is gatecrashed by a surprise not-so-VIP guest with a connection to Rosemary’s story, we chow down on Simon’s cassoulet and, of course, Kiwi onion dip, made under the tutelage of its creator.

    UPDATE: The unnamed North Shore Korean barbecue place recommended at the end of the podcast is Tae Neung
