This week's guest is Lauren McWhirter who grew up with a dogged desire to be a helicopter pilot in the Australian Navy, but ended up working in the Pilbara as a geologist on an iron ore mine during the heady heights of the Australian mining boom.
Lauren's career left turn took her from mining into radio broadcasting, including stints as a breakfast radio host, before she moved behind the microphone to produce shows for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, as well as becoming a professional podcast producer just as the podcasting boom has taken off.
Lauren shares her experience transitioning from the Pilbara to producer with honesty and a lot of humour and plenty of fab stories - from almost ruining the magic of Christmas for the people of Dubbo, to how she dealt with Donald Trump's curveball.
