UNPAUSED IN THE TIME OF CORONAVIRUS⁠
EPISODE 2 is now live! ⁠
//⁠
⁠You may remember book publisher Julie Gibbs, in Season 1 of the podcast; in fact, she was our very first guest. ⁠
⁠
Today, we revisit Julie's story, as her pause comes to an end and her new role, as Head Consultant of the Australian Culinary Archive project, is formalised and acclaimed. ⁠
⁠
Julie's steadfastness to her professional circle, and her regard for the culinary culture of Australia, which she brought so artfully to print for so long, has now brought her full circle. It proves the merit of her advice to us last year... "to maintain your connections, force yourself to get your hair done and put on a dress, even when you least feel like it..." In fact, it was her presence at a serendipitous event that bore no relation to her formal career, that opened a door to this new opportunity. We couldn't be more pleased for her. ⁠
⁠
If you haven't yet listened to the interview with Julie in Season 1 of Unpaused, you simply must. ⁠It's listed in the links in our bio along with some of the references she makes in this new mini-episode. ⁠

During the course of an interview with David Remnick, Editor of the New Yorker, an interview that turned out to be his last, Leonard Cohen reflected on tying up the ends of a life well-lived. His comments rang true to me. It’s a beautiful piece. @newyorkermag #leonardcohen #leonardcohenquotes #unpaused #unpausedthepodcast #davidremnick

UNPAUSED: A BOOK TO LIFT THE SPIRITS⁠
//⁠
The Times called it “a book to spark joy’ but I liked what The Lady said: "Charming… if you’re in need of respite from the prevailing gloom, look no further…”. ⁠
My favourite book for reading right now… ⁠

UNPAUSED LOVES: @vanityfair article "The Book of Reese"⁠
//⁠
Reese Witherspoon, the star who came back…⁠
⁠
The New Yorker wrote her off at 36, so she set about inventing roles for herself, based on her prodigious appetite for reading, and a sharp eye for what would work, which yielded good material to develop into movies and tv shows, via a production company of her own creation.⁠
⁠
She saw a way to create roles for other women too and was able to share the bounty of her efforts and inspiration around.⁠
⁠
Author, #AnnPatchett, in this cover piece for Vanity Fair, summarises Witherspoon's distinctive MO this way:⁠
⁠
“She went out to find water, then called her friends, so that together, they could dig a well, lay a pipeline and change the landscape...” ⁠
⁠
If you’re ready to turn off the news and read something uplifting, this story about Reese Witherspoon and her distinctive unpause, is wonderful. ⁠

Tom Hanks is about 100 km away at the Gold Coast University Hospital recovering from what they say is a mild case of Coronavirus. I'm at home at last, after travelling through 3 international airports in 24 hours, in self-imposed isolation for two weeks, having taken the Australian Government’s advice to do so, to heart. Listening to this morning’s episode of The Daily was an uplifting diversion from the relentless news cycle. I recommend it. He's wonderful.

And that's how it happened.. Dinner hosted by @davidprior and my newest friend, the most compelling and beautiful @deborahneedleman all arranged so beautifully in the cosiest candlelit kitchen -dining room in New York @prior to help spread the word about @_unpaused . The conversation rippled about me and I didn't want it to end. I'm going to be wildly optimistic about what might unfold here next week but I can promise at least one inspiring new interview for Season 3...soon to come.

UNPAUSED LOVES: The Telegraph Kristin Scott Thomas⁠
//⁠
QUOTE: "At 59 years old, Kristin Scott Thomas says she has ‘got to the other side of the invisible phase’. … .Scott Thomas is right in that she is suddenly gloriously visible, in Military Wives with @sharonhorgan, directed by Peter Cattaneo (of The Full Monty fame); and, in a clever piece of casting, as Mrs Danvers in an adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, opposite @lilyjamesofficial and @armiehammer. ⁠
⁠
..This renaissance was not heralded by the damehood Scott Thomas received in 2015, or by her return to London after three decades living in Paris, but by her turn last year as Belinda, the high-flying, Martini-downing, no-bulls—t lesbian whose ‘women are born with pain built in’ state-of-the-gender monologue was one of the most electrifying moments of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s award-winning series @bbcfleabag”⁠
//⁠
What do we make of this almost 60yr professional suddenly becoming the rage? It's only by DOING that we start MOVING. Being brave. Putting yourself in a position to be noticed. Working with great people doesn’t hurt either.⁠
