ON TODAY’S SHOW - Welcome back, Corrie! - Caro’s exclusive with Alastair Clarkson - Our Book, Screen and Food recommendations - Harry and Meghan’s next move Corrie's back! We left Corrie three weeks ago early on her trip on a hot Calabrian night. Now she has returned from her European Indian Summer sojourn. She will report on her month of travels...Southern Italy with her history club and her Grecian Odyssey which included the islands of Corfu, Kefalonia and Lefkada and a one-week sailing trip around the Ionian. Caro and Corrie unpack the devastation of Alastair Clarkson who was sacked last week as North Melbourne coach. The sacking was followed by an unusually honest/brutal press conference held by club president Sonja Hood and Clarkson's long-time ally Todd Viney.
