ArtiFacts Eastside.
Join me, Jane Raffan, for a show previewing Home Cooking, another of Eastside’s fabulous own radio plays, the Sonic Tales.
It’s a comedy with a surreal twist. And the teaser line reads “Max likes sport and cooking, and he’s cooking up a surprise for Min …”
I’ll be chatting with the play’s writer, Noelle Janaczewska, about her fascination with cooking, and her life in cookbooks, which was the subject of a recent ABC documentary:

And the music? I’ve cooked up playlist focused on food. It’s mainly metaphorical and mainly blues, some of which are quite blue – as well as some funk and boss nova and a peppering of other things. Quite the recipe for fun!
