Transition Framework: towards future practices of sustainable washing

Speaking with Peter Maher on 3AW

Clearing out my inbox I found this sound clip from January 2012 – listening back I remembered how hilariously/inappropriately antagonistic Peter was, and my awkward replies ‘…do you get some kind of perverse pleasure from smelling… things?’ Or when he asks about my ‘undies’. This is my record for highest ‘um’ per second interview.
