 Back into the sordid conspiracy surrounding Covid, The Vaccine, and What Does the Public Need to Know. Dawn takes us on a journey to question a doctors right to argue accepted medical practice, a patience right to understand what they are agreeing to and some historical events which lead us here.

Really didn't need a funky title for this one, as it kinda speaks for itself. But yes, we were surprised and tickled to discover that in the early 2000's, in protest to Australia's laws regarding same sex marriage, a group of Gay activists broke off from Australia, claimed a tropical Island as compensation for discrimination, declared themselves a Nation for Queer Folk the globe over and then declared War on the Australian government. We present to you The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea IslandsThe Truth is Queerer than fiction :)It was such a fabulous story it had to be told. We also visit another Micro Nation here in New Zealand and revisit our own abandoned and neglected Nation State. Tabys Recommended Books: Jennifer Government by Max BarryDon't forget to like and follow us on all our platforms.Facebook:   The-maid-the-mother-and-the-otherInstagram:   @maidmotherotherTwitter:         @MotherOtherEmail:           maidmotherother@gmail.com    

Extra! Extra! Hear all about it.Taby brings us another notable woman of history, and one Dawn actually likes this time :) One of the brighter and often overlooked Paleontologists, Mary Anning started as a young 12 year old girl on the coastal shores of England, working the very beach that eventually claimed the life of her father, to find fossils to sell to passing tourists. Poor and uneducated, a women and therefore often uncredited for her work, Anning became one of the most respected authorities on fossils for her time, and discovered many valuable new species. Many of her finds can be seen today still in the British Natural History Museum. It's rumored  Mary is the "She" from 'She sells sea shells'.An astute woman, we're not false when we say she really knows her Shit.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, Kinda takes on a different tone. A very inappropriate play on words but one I couldn't resist. Today we learn about the most successful Pirate in recorded history. They started life as a humble peasent and while in their twenties entered a life of piracy, only to build an empire. They had the largest fleet of ships, an estimated 1700+, compared to Blackbeards 300 ships. They managed in excess of 70, 000 men, over Blackbeards 1000. They harassed the Chinese and the Portugese merchants. Her name was Ching Shi, and today we'll help you learn all about her. We can't say you'll like her, but you might be impressed.  Don't forget to like and follow us on all our platforms.Facebook:   The-maid-the-mother-and-the-otherInstagram:   @maidmotherotherTwitter:         @MotherOtherEmail:           maidmotherother@gmail.com  

Dawn takes the reins today, inspired by conspiracy she takes a look at one of recent histories medical scandals and tragedies, the alleged wonder drug, Thalidomide. A sedative and tranquilizer, it's uses eventually branched out to treat many ailments, and it was hailed as a marvelous scientific achievement. We look at how, while all it's other features and benefits still stand, and the drug is still in production today, it's wide spread use and acceptance was brought to a crashing halt, due to some shocking medical oversight with some very tragic repercussions. Don't forget to like and follow us on all our platforms.Facebook:   The-maid-the-mother-and-the-otherInstagram:   @maidmotherotherTwitter:         @MotherOtherEmail:           maidmotherother@gmail.com 

Whoot! Today we have a special guest joining Dawn and Taby for recording!!!!!Together we respond to a recent news article about the struggles of mothers on social benefits and the attitudes found in the comments sections. We talk motherhood, the welfare system, capitalism (Of course) and our experiences, past and present with the system. Honourable book mentions today go to Max Brooks brilliant Apocalyptic Zombie novel: World War ZDon't forget to like and follow us on all our platforms.Facebook:   The-maid-the-mother-and-the-otherInstagram:   @maidmotherotherTwitter:         @MotherOtherEmail:           maidmotherother@gmail.com 

Since we've just gone through Mothers Day here, Dawn takes Taby down a path exploring Fetal-maternal microchimerism and many, many offshoots. No, we're not talking about the mythical Chimeras, there will be no Hippogryffs found here. Today we discuss the links and effects that occur between mother and child, both during gestation, and long after the child has been born, on a cellular level. This is more than poetry, this is science. We discuss literally healing hearts, and a little of breaking them. How little boys can heal their mothers brains in old age and how grandmothers might be saving the lives of grandchildren they might never meet. Don't forget to like and follow us on all our platforms.Facebook:   The-maid-the-mother-and-the-otherInstagram:   @maidmotherotherTwitter:         @MotherOtherEmail:           maidmotherother@gmail.com     

A listener request this week, Dawn Springs the #FreeBritney on Taby. Today we explore the singers history, the tumultuous time before her very pubic "Breakdown" in 2007, and the conservatorship, which shockingly has been in place ever since. We debate whether it's justified and consider how we would feel in Britney's place. We feel we owe and apology to Britney, because while neither of us were ever huge fans, it sounds like she's had a bit of a tough run these past few years and maybe it;s not allher own fault.

Sorry. More Death this week, with a bit of suffering, conspiracy and capitalism thrown in to boot.  Really sorry about that. Taby explores the HERstory of the Radium Girls. Unfortunate, Shining examples of collateral damage in the pursuit of big business and worker abuses.  The tale of women, who despite having their lives and bones literally destroyed as the cost of their employment, fought back against the companies that harmed them. Not for themselves, as their days were genuinely numbered, but to protect the women who were to come after them. Literally racing against death as the court proceedings dragged on, today we remember, The Radium Girls. Taby hasn't read the book, but now wants to get her hands on The Radium Girls, by Kate Moore.Also,here's the link for the trailer for the "inspired by" movie.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MWnQvObZWkDon't forget to like and follow us on all our platforms.Facebook:   The-maid-the-mother-and-the-otherInstagram:   @maidmotherotherTwitter:         @MotherOtherEmail:           maidmotherother@gmail.com    

So Taby once again brings us back Death. What happens to the human body upon death? What factors can expedite or slow down the process? Surprisingly, over 50 years ago we didn't know all that much. Nowadays, our science is polished, if a little gooey, and we can learn a lot from bodies about who the person was, how they died, and even in some cases, help catch a killer. All this is thanks to a fascinating and slightly macabre practice of farming deceased human bodies.Tabys book recommendation today is works by Kathy Reichs, and Taby will look into Jefferson Bass.

Shark Week, Red Tide, The Painters have come....Grab your hot water bottle and your chocolate icecream, today Dawn and Taby break open the taboo that is the menstrual cycle. Silly names, misconceptions about Missed Conceptions (see what I did there), religious interference and when Badass Divas are celebrated. Why some of us can seem a little moody and why you should just step off and let us be. We're talking loudly about something that's often whispered about. We are women, hear us Roar, Period.

What does the Patriarchy and Capitalism have to do with Witches?So glad you asked!Today Dawn fills us in on how the ancient art of brewing beer was wrenched from the hands of enterprising women, how 'The Church' dirtied their hands with this capitalist hostile takeover, and where the image of the witch that we all know came from. We also discuss sneezing and Taby completely fails to give honorable mention to the great Sir Alan Rickman for his performance of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Tabys book recommendation today is The Potato Factory, by Bryce CourtneyDon't forget to like and follow us on all our platforms.Facebook:   The-maid-the-mother-and-the-otherInstagram:   @maidmotherotherTwitter:         @MotherOtherEmail:           maidmotherother@gmail.com

After struggling to remember what her interests even are these days, Taby has decided to introduce you to 'Sky Burials". What does that make you think of? Well it's even more interesting than that. Join us as we learn a little about an established, if somewhat different,  Buddhist process, where with great respect and ceremony the deceased are prepared and offered up as sustenance to the surrounding wildlife.This is no sacrifice. No attempt to appease angry gods.

A very sombre topic today. Applicable trigger warnings. Britain particularly has experienced it's best during what was International Womens Day. While the world celebrated women, in all their incarnations, another young womens life was prematurely taken. The people who are to protect society, have not only failed in this respect, but sought to suppress the ensuing public outcry. Emotions are high, and souls are so very weary. A cry for change has been echoing around society for decades, still waiting to be heard. Don't forget to like and follow us on all our platforms.Facebook:   The-maid-the-mother-and-the-otherInstagram:   @maidmotherotherTwitter:         @MotherOtherEmail:           maidmotherother@gmail.com  

Why do Conspiracy Theorists fall for conspiracies. Apparently no one knows. There have been studies, but they're relatively inconclusive. Personality traits aren't the greatest indicator. Environment and mental health can play a part. What we do know is that Taby is still confused and Dawn blames capitalism.  Don't forget to like and follow us on all our platforms.Facebook:   The-maid-the-mother-and-the-otherInstagram:   @maidmotherotherTwitter:         @MotherOtherEmail:           maidmotherother@gmail.com   

Jades Back. Well actually we posted the episodes out of order :)Today we try to tackle the concept of the working slave. The financial, mental and physical cost of working the traditional 40 hour work week and if there is another way to live. It's truly a large subject with many relevant offshoots, so we may need to tackle this one further in depth in the future, but for now we hope to help you question the status quo.  Don't forget to like and follow us on all our platforms.Facebook:   The-maid-the-mother-and-the-otherInstagram:   @maidmotherotherTwitter:         @MotherOtherEmail:           maidmotherother@gmail.com  

Jades Gone! But not forgotten, She will return in future episodes.This episode Taby and Dawn discuss the little known English town of Eyam (Pronounced EE-Yam, but Taby calls it Eye-am for half the episode o.0). A seemingly insignificant town, who made a huge personal sacrifice in the midst of one of England's last Plague outbreaks, to protect their neighbors and stop the plague progressing further. We also discuss the global practices today in the reality of Corona virus, barely acknowledge Venice's reaction to the plague (FYI the word quarantine comes from Venice's requirement that ships self isolate for 40 days before entering the city) and utterly fuck up what was supposed to be a sombre end note. Join us for some fun facts and inappropriate laughter as we discuss death, disease and diarrhea.Don't forget to like and follow us on all our platforms.Facebook:   The-maid-the-mother-and-the-otherInstagram:   @maidmotherotherTwitter:         @MotherOtherEmail:           maidmotherother@gmail.com

It's Dawn and Taby today (Poor Jade is sick), and we thought we'd offend a few more people by talking about the Vagina. Strange names, things that can go wrong, and funny stories. Not enough people have a conversation about this important peice of anatomy, so we thought we'd start the conversation for you. Listen in, then go and be cunning linguists on the topic of the twat.Don't forget to like and follow us on all our platforms.Facebook:   The-maid-the-mother-and-the-otherInstagram:   @maidmotherotherTwitter:         @MotherOtherEmail:           maidmotherother@gmail.com   

Come with us down the rabbit hole as we head back to conspiracies this week, as Dawn enlightens Jade and Taby on the many aspects of the QAnon Conspiracy theories. It's beginnings, multiple side tangents and where they are now. We also manage to offend Trump supporters, Jehovah Witnesses, Seventh Day adventists and Mormons. Sorry, not sorry. We'll leave you with one of Tabys favorite Terry Pratchett Quotes“There were plotters, there was no doubt about it. Some had been ordinary people who'd had enough. Some were young people with no money who objected to the fact that the world was run by old people who were rich. Some were in it to get girls. And some had been idiots as mad as Swing, with a view of the world just as rigid and unreal, who were on the side of what they called 'the people'. Vimes had spent his life on the streets, and had met decent men and fools and people who'd steal a penny from a blind beggar and people who performed silent miracles or desperate crimes every day behind the grubby windows of little houses, but he'd never met The People.People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn't that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people.As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn't measure up. What would run through the streets soon enough wouldn't be a revolution or a riot. It'd be people who were frightened and panicking. It was what happened when the machinery of city life faltered, the wheels stopped turning and all the little rules broke down. And when that happened, humans were worse than sheep. Sheep just ran; they didn't try to bite the sheep next to them.” Taby's recommended reading, Night Watch - Terry Pratchett, Earth - David Brin, The Harlott by the side of the Road - Jonathan KirschDon't forget to like and follow us on all our platforms.Facebook:   The-maid-the-mother-and-the-otherInstagram:   @maidmotherotherTwitter:         @MotherOtherEmail:           maidmotherother@gmail.com
