Katie plays new songs by Peter Garrett, Charm of Finches and SYML before welcoming Rosie Burgess and Sam Lohs, aka Tuck Shop Ladies, back to Miss Chatelaine for a chat about their 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival show, A Day in the Life of a Lesbian Bank Robber. Rosie and Sam keep Katie and her listeners laughing with their hilarious observations on life – they are hands down (your pants) the best! – and tell us how they became a JOY sponsor. They choose tracks by two artists they regard as inspirational and talented friends, Little Wise and Jude Perl, and play a couple of songs live in the studio. Here is the playlist:

The True North – Peter Garrett
Middle of Your Mess – Charm of Finches
