This week on Rescued, Roz Pappalardo delves into the world of Adelaide songwriter Carla Lippis.

In a fast-paced and at times uncanny conversation that begins with shared Italian-Australian heritage, we learn how Carla found her way into an action-packed performance career involving songwriting, musical theatre-making, and now acting. And we hear about her recently-adopted toy poodle Minnie, who has brought unexpected joy to her life.

Rescued s2e5 is out now on Apple, Amazon, Spotify and Castbox.

The new episode of Rescued (dropping tomorrow) is through-the-looking-glass stuff - a passionate, rapid-fire conversation between two driven Italian-Australian songwriters, theatre-makers and dog-lovers: Roz Pappalardo and Carla Lippis

Carla is an absolute tour-de-force, defying chronic pain to build a formidable, frenetic and colourful career. And recently, in the midst of preparations for an upcoming Adelaide-based production of The Importance of Being Earnest, she has adopted an adorable baby toy poodle called Minnie, who has changed her life...

Rescued s2e4, featuring country star Lyn Bowtell and her rescue terriers Mario and Nina, is out now.

This one is a jam-packed and insightful conversation, examining Lyn's journey from uber-polite teenage talent quest entrant to status as a confident, established professional, giving back as a songwriting mentor.

And we get a peek at some of the serious experiences that coloured her journey, the darkest of which she was able to turn into cathartic and moving pieces of work. As is the songwriter way.

Plus, there's a fabulous love story, and the fur babies who bring joy and inspiration along the way.

Worth a listen, especially if the news feed is getting you down. Available on Amazon, Apple, Spotify and Castbox.

A new episode of Rescued drops tomorrow! This week Roz Pappalardo asks country star Lyn Bowtell about the storied background that set her up to build an incredible career, the life experiences that have shaped her songwriting, and the tour with Beccy Cole that led to her falling in love. Among other things.

And we meet her "little Jacks", rescue dogs Mario and Nina, who became instant family and who bring unconditional pure joy.

A funny, insightful and at times sobering conversation about self-discovery, shaking off the fawn response, and forging an authentic, creative life as an original musician.
