This week, you’ll meet journalist & author Brooke Boney who is Darren’s first guest in between homes as she returns to Australia from studying at Oxford University. Together they explore all the nuances of what it means to be ‘home’, and after Brooke’s life changing decision to leave the Today Show, more importantly WHO makes us feel at home.

Find Brooke at @boneybrooke and pick up her book ‘All Of It: Notes on public life, private joy and everything in between’ at https://www.booktopia.com.au/all-of-it-brooke-boney/book/9781761068003.html

For the dreamers still making it home, Darren Palmer’s Almost Home is powered by Shark sharkclean.com.au

Whether it’s pet hair in the lounge, crumbs in the kitchen, or a full-home deep clean, it adapts to every floor type. And when you’re done the dock empties and charges your vacuum after every clean.
