Toni Lodge spends a lot of time making people laugh. The podcast she co-hosts, Toni and Ryan, releases five episodes a week and receives over a million downloads every month – making it one of Australia’s biggest hits. Now, Lodge is taking her TMI brand of humour to the page. This week she released her memoir, I Don’t Need Therapy (and Other Lies I Tell Myself) – lies like “I would never steal butter from a staff room fridge”.
