Were we tempting fate hosting a show called Curveball?
Because it feels a little like the universe wants us to have more first-hand experience of adversity.
As 2022 began, host Kellie Riordan was champing at the bit to bring you some amazing new guests with stories of resilience.
Then the Australian floods in February ruined the Curveball studio (and most of Kellie’s house!).
So Kellie and her family had to pack up their lives and move out. We’d just got a temporary “studio” set up at Kellie’s new place when she was thrown a few more curveballs. Including one that landed her in hospital....
Curveball’s the show that leans into life’s messiest moments and so we’re leaning hard! Make sure you’re following Curveball in your podcast app, so you don’t miss those outstanding stories, and heaps more to come!
