Using comedy to unpick my past on air

Comedian Rosie Waterland started a podcast with her mum to examine their difficult past.

Comedian Rosie Waterland is a big name in her native Australia but it's by confronting the dark moments in her past that she's been able to reach the spotlight. She wrote a memoir called ‘The Anti Cool Girl’ about her life but when her mum read the book, she said that most of what Rosie had written was a lie. To air their grievances, Rosie decided to create a podcast with her mum. As you can imagine, in the confined space of a radio studio and amongst the laughter, things get tense.
