Julia Zemiro’s Home Delivery: May 20

Season 8 of Julia Zemiro’s Home Delivery -filmed before lockdown- begins on ABC tomorrow night.

First guest is Aussie boffin Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki.

Australia favourite science communicator Dr Karl takes Julia on a tour of the Wollongong family home he last entered half a century ago, recalling a lonely childhood and revelling his regret at not paying attention to the life lessons his Holocaust-survivor parents offered. Jumping into a navy-blue Volkswagen Beetle, Karl and Julia travel to his high school and favourite beach, via the raging furnace of the Wollongong steelworks. Karl shares stories from a life crammed with dramatic swerves, dips and U-turns, with courage, humour and his infectious optimism.

8pm Wednesday on ABC.
