“The Fitzroy Diaries brings to life the joy and happiness you feel when you're part of a community. It mightn't always be glamorous, but it's fulfilling, and while Lorin Clarke's stories are about life on a street and the many varied and interesting characters that inhabit it, she could be talking about a local club, pub, cafe or playgroup. Places which provide a life and social setting for many who don't have a close family for many good and bad reasons, but are still surrounded by others who care for them. From the outside it's easy to dismiss as mundane and boring, but when you're part of it, it's worth protecting.
That's what the Fitzroy Diaries is providing. A snapshot of lives, loves, trials and tribulations, and it's done in a way that celebrates it and makes you wish, "I want to live somewhere like that".”Read full review »

“Love this podcast sooooo much! Whimsical and gentle, and so evocative of Melbourne inner suburbs. Makes me very homesick from over here in Ireland. Can’t wait to reacquaint myself with magpies, bin night and summer evening strolls”

“Thank you so much Lorran. Wonderful listening and I find myself reminiscing about your dad. He was a gift to all ABC listeners and viewers. Keep it up. Ruth Browne, Griffith NSW”
