An ACP Finale Of The ACP Finale

A Country Pals, We've loved making this podcast for you over the last two years, but this is our last episode for the foreseeable future. We hope you've loved it as much as we have.  Joining Mel & Kim this week is our formidable Social Media Manager Chez Robbie, who is pretty much the world's foremost ACP expert. And, Great Podcast Talent, as you'll discover.  Thank you for listening, we hope you love our chat about the series finale of ACP.  ACP Finale Ep 1 [https://7plus.com.au/a-country-practice?episode-id=CNP2-089&startAt=2698] & ACP Finale Ep 2  [https://7plus.com.au/a-country-practice?episode-id=CNP2-089&startAt=2699] A COUNTRY PODCAST on Facebook [http://www.facebook.com/acountrypodcast] Host/ Producer: Melanie Tait [http://www.twitter.com/melanietait]on Twitter  Host/ Producer: Kim Lester [http://www.twitter.com/kimlester]on Twitter  Social Media Editor: Chez Robbie  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Lots Of Kisses Before Lots Of Dying (With Special Guest Chez Robbie!)

It's here: the episodes we lose Shirley Gilroy in a plane crash.  This is a brilliant episode from Season 12 - it shows the beginning of Tom and Anna's romance, Esme falls a little in love with Percy... and young journalist Max Blair comes to town, dying of HIV AIDS.  The thing is - Mel and Kim aren't great on the later series and this ep is going to hurt for the purists. So, we've got Chez Robbie in as our fact checker, thank goodness.  Watch A Kiss Before Dying Part 1 [https://7plus.com.au/a-country-practice?episode-id=CNP-923&startAt=2608] &  A Kiss Before Dying Part 2 [https://7plus.com.au/a-country-practice?episode-id=CNP-923&startAt=2608] A COUNTRY PODCAST on Facebook [http://www.facebook.com/acountrypodcast] Host/ Producer: Melanie Tait [http://www.twitter.com/melanietait]on Twitter  Host/ Producer: Kim Lester [http://www.twitter.com/kimlester]on Twitter  Social Media Editor: Chez Robbie  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Being Trans in Wandin Valley... In 1985

It's 1985 in Wandin Valley and this is a big episode that many of you have suggested we talk about: it has both a trans storyline, and deals with childhood obesity. We meet Alice McKenna, a woman living in the Valley with a secret that comes out when she goes into hospital with diabetes. Alice is a trans woman.  And, we gave her friend, Gavin, a little boy teased for being fat.  How does Wandin Valley treat these people? Like the leftie Utopia we think it is? Or is it more complicated, and, well, 1980s?  Kim finds some personal accounts of being trans in the 1980s, Melanie looks into the incredible life of Bunney Brooke.  A COUNTRY PODCAST on Facebook [http://www.facebook.com/acountrypodcast] Host/ Producer: Melanie Tait [http://www.twitter.com/melanietait]on Twitter  Host/ Producer: Kim Lester [http://www.twitter.com/kimlester]on Twitter  Social Media Editor: Chez Robbie  All It Takes Ep 1 [https://7plus.com.au/a-country-practice?episode-id=CNP-315&startAt=2736] & All It Takes Ep 2 [https://7plus.com.au/a-country-practice?episode-id=CNP-315&startAt=2737]  https://medium.com/@allisawash/quora-asked-me-about-my-experience-during-the-trans-dark-ages-648f060fa458 [https://medium.com/@allisawash/quora-asked-me-about-my-experience-during-the-trans-dark-ages-648f060fa458]  https://au.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/the-trans-fight-18765/ [https://au.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/the-trans-fight-18765/] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

When Matron Maggie Sloan Came To Wandin Valley

After getting to know A Country Practice a lot better, by watching it as adults, we're both mad for Maggie Sloan and Esme Watson.  So, here we are watching the episode where Maggie Sloan comes to Wandin Valley. She's a bit of a punish, we don't see the softness in her that we come to love, but she's still a bit of legend.  What has ACP got to say about being a middle aged woman? These eps seem to have a lot to say.  In today's episode, Kim looks at the Dutch Reform Church and Melanie takes a peak into the life and career of the legendary Joan Sydney.  A COUNTRY PODCAST on Facebook [http://www.facebook.com/acountrypodcast] Host/ Producer: Melanie Tait [http://www.twitter.com/melanietait]on Twitter  Host/ Producer: Kim Lester [http://www.twitter.com/kimlester]on Twitter  Social Media Editor: Chez Robbie  A Woman's Place Ep 1 [https://7plus.com.au/a-country-practice?episode-id=CNP-141&startAt=2718] & A Woman's Place Ep 2  [https://7plus.com.au/a-country-practice?episode-id=CNP-141&startAt=2719] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
