Episode Information
Dunedin Life in 1857 - Everyone interested in early Dunedin will know of the book The Old Identities which was written by early settler James Barr but for us his true claim to fame is being one of the group who organized a series of lectures which gave the Athenaeum Library & Mechanic's Institute the financial means to relaunch in 1859. Also Christine has two large piles of new books to try and review before time is up.

Finding Roderick Finlayson - One of the delights of our Tuesday lunch time NZ Short Story readings is finding forgotten authors.

We talk about him in this show and suggest him as someone worth studying for any budding literary academics. Also some new books to review.

Episode Information
Loose Women Talk Back - Men have been getting up on their soapboxes and complaining about the morals of the modern woman for a very long time. An interesting change seen in the ODT's 100 years ago column is after WWI women had the confidence to talk back and tell the worried male to pull his head in. A small but important step on the long winding path to equality.
