@WenleiMa @RNBreakfast Oh good luck Wen - you’re a superstar and I’ll really miss reading your stories. Glad to hear we can still catch your recommendations on RN.

@MelanieTait I’m so sorry, that is heartbreaking. Take time to grieve and look after yourself xx thinking of you

[Kate Calacouras @KateCalacouras]

@MelanieTait Yes, and I did. And it’s making the endless rain slightly less of a downer.

[Kate Calacouras @KateCalacouras]

@GingerGorman Oh that’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing (and just loving that i can picture exactly where this took place)

[Kate Calacouras @KateCalacouras]

@VirginAustralia please help. You have cancelled the Cairns-Melbourne flight with no option of rebooking. There is no accommodation available, so you are leaving babies, families and older people without help.

[Kate Calacouras @KateCalacouras]

@Rob_Stott Am unable to drink beer. Will make an exception for this.

@MelanieTait Acre is lovely. And the patio at One Penny Red is also airy and the food is incredible.

@MelanieTait I once opened the mic for my Saturday breakfast show (with no producer) not realising I had completely lost my voice bc I hadn’t spoken to anyone yet. So, another anxiety to add to your dream.

[Kate Calacouras @KateCalacouras]

@newmanmartin Thanks for the shout out - the women I spoke to in this series are incredible. Really hope they can push for change.

[Kate Calacouras @KateCalacouras]

@MelanieTait Theory - do you think we’re seeing more birds in the city since the fires? I adore the lorikeets, kookaburras and cockatoos filling our skies, but there feels like there are more now? Or maybe I’m just older and look out for them :)

[Kate Calacouras @KateCalacouras]

@MelanieTait Hope you’re on the mend soon. Here’s a picture to make you smile: in the middle of chaos this evening I put in my headphones and shut out the world, listening to your wonderful podcast as I tried to make order in my space. It worked. Thank you.

@AprilJLong is doing incredible work, fighting for children who can’t fight for themselves. Let’s change the conversation - all too often these mums don’t belong in jail.

[AprilJoy @AprilJLong]

Really proud to be involved in this important piece that looks at the impact on children when mum goes to prison. Thank you @KateCalacouras for ensuring these stories are shared #jailingsfailing

[Kate Calacouras @KateCalacouras]

@AprilJLong Thank you for taking the time to speak with me April. Your work is so important, and I really hope we can start to shift the conversation to protect some of the most vulnerable people in our society - kids with a parent in jail.

@KateSalemme It’s prob the best match I’ve ever seen. Screaming in the lounge room

[Kate Calacouras @KateCalacouras]

@MelanieTait @GladysB Well done @MelanieTait - you've made a huge difference to the mental health of thousands of people.

[Kate Calacouras @KateCalacouras]

@ServiceNSW @ServiceNSW I managed to speak to an operator on this number and they told me that they have no information for test results. It is up to @NSWHealth

[Kate Calacouras @KateCalacouras]

3 days since I’ve been tested for covid (now realise it was bad hay fever) and just been told it will take 1-2 more days to ‘escalate’ before I get result. Has @NSWHealth pulled funding from testing clinics? @ServiceNSW
no longer gives ph numbers to help chase this up.

[Kate Calacouras @KateCalacouras]

@ServiceNSW @ServiceNSW the options on that line suggest you should “hang up” and call your local provider if you are looking for test results.

[Kate Calacouras @KateCalacouras]

@MelanieTait @kimlester Loved it. Also - if you revisit the convo on best TV weddings, “I love you and I like you” from parks and recreation has to be up there

[Kate Calacouras @KateCalacouras]

@MelanieTait Yes this one is also amazing. I’m thinking we need an article with all your favourites in there just so we can go down an SNL rabbit hole.
