Season 03 - Episode 18 of MUD BETWEEN YOUR TOES CONVERSATIONS WITH PETE WOOD. 

When South African journalist, Mary Lloyd, moved from Hong Kong to Australia to work for the ABC, she thought her dream of big skies and 4WD road trips had come true. 

Her husband, Channel 10 newsreader Hugh Riminton and their 3 young children were ill-prepared for the heartbreaking cancer battle Mary had to endure – and right in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mary opens up to me about the battle of having chemotherapy in a hospital whilst enduring rigid COVID-19 isolation.

This podcast began as an audio version of my book, Mud Between Your Toes – a memoir about my life – a gay, white boy growing up during the 1970s Rhodesian Bush War. It has now evolved into a series of conversations with characters and personalities with stories to tell – occasionally on an African theme.
