In The Stable Times, we would usually tell you what we're going to be covering on Tuesday, but since we're in The Jungle Times, we're going to keep it a surprise.

What I can say, though, is that I've just been on Conversations with Richard Feidler, talking about how history is often a patchwork of conflicting accounts, misremembered details and outright myths.

It was an incredibly fun chat and it's available now on the Conversations podcast.

There's a link to the episode in our show notes today.

I'll catch you next week.

Yes, I live in Newcastle and we bought this house in 2020 there when we realised we couldn't afford to live in Sydney anymore and moved home to where I'm from in Newcastle.

and we bought this house that had a downstairs room that didn't really have a purpose.

You know, storage rooms, garage, that kind of thing.

Can't really use it as a bedroom.

The kids would never use it as a playroom.

It's a little bit too big to be an office.

It's kind of odd.

And then someone made the suggestion that we should start turning, if you're listening, our podcast into a video and TV product as well as being an audio podcast.

And we were sort of going...

Am I going to need to come down to Sydney to film it in a studio?

Am I going to need to, you know, monopolise part of the ABC Newcastle office, which, as you know, Richard, is not massive and they probably wouldn't be super keen on me turning a big section of it into a TV studio.

No, workers are pretty much stacked vertically on top of each other in Newcastle.

That's right.

And I went, you know what, I've got this strange shaped room that doesn't have any purpose in my house.

Can we try that?
