Nell Frizzell

Book Shambles

Journalist Nell Frizzell’s new book is The Panic Years: Dates, Doubts, and the Mother of All Decisions and it spoke so strongly to Josie that she provided one of the cover quotes so it only makes sense she join her and Robin on the podcast. They chat about the book, motherhood, some of Nell’s favourite books about parenting, vegetable growing and much more.
