    Isabelle Pearl Love-Dack (Finn’s Oyster Bar) - Is there anything more perfect than an oyster?

    10/05/2026 | 40 mins.
    Is there anything more perfect than an oyster? Isabelle Pearl Love-Dack runs Finn’s Oyster Bar, which attends events to offer just-shucked bliss. She also works for Shuck Don’t Chuck, which collects oyster shells to use in reef rehab. Finn’s is named for Bella’s son Finn, who died in 2019 aged 13 months. The grief is always present but there’s joy too.

    Stephen Nairn (Omnia, Yugen) - Portside at Prahran

    26/04/2026 | 55 mins.
    Australia imports most of its seafood, and the most commonly eaten locally produced fish is farmed salmon. Do these facts point to problems? Today’s chat is with return Dirty Linen guest Stephen Nairn (Omnia, Yugen), who has recently opened Portside, a retail store at Prahran Market with a focus on high quality seafood from known fishers.

    The Producers: Louisa Dunn (Potato Farmer - Blackwood, Victoria) - Spud Fest.

    20/04/2026 | 42 mins.
    Louisa Dunn farms potatoes, beef and sheep in Blackwood, an hour north of Melbourne. A city girl from Brighton, who married into a fifth generation farming family, Louisa has learnt more about potatoes than she knew there was to know. There are more than 4000 types of potatoes and the Dunn family is proud to grow around 20 of them, both for chipping and sending to market.

    Louisa has become a keen advocate for regional farming communities such as hers; she’s a huge wrap for the Great Trentham Spudfest (May 2 & 3), which celebrates local potato farming families every autumn.

About Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani Valent

Dirty Linen goes behind the scenes in restaurants, cafes and bars, covering issues the hospitality industry finds hard to share in public - it's all up for grabs and everything is on the table. Your host is food journalist Dani Valent. For 20 years, Dani has been writing about restaurants and the people who give them life. But she's an outsider, a critic, a tourist, a fan. Despite hearing the stories and writing the tales, she's never really understood what happens behind the scenes. Now it's time to get stuck in, with compassion, humour and fearlessness. Dirty Linen goes deep, both in conversations with individuals and in pressing topics. We ask the hard questions and discuss the big issues, bringing a unique perspective to a world that we all intersect with but often don’t understand. Dirty Linen is a Deep in the Weeds Production.
