Synopsis:Historian Carla Pascoe Leahy was surprised at how her own experiences of new motherhood were affected by the relationships and stories she was told by her own mother and grandmothers.

The winners of the 42nd Annual Golden Raspberry Awards have officially been announced, and we're here to do our grim duty and cover them! While there was no official ceremony this year due to COVID, all of the films and Bruce Willises were still recognized. Do Space Jam and LeBron James get the razzing they deserve? Can Jared Leto breathe under that makeup? Does Diana: The Musical count as a movie? Will Coke Daniels get the recognition he deserves (note: we have no idea what recognition that would be one way or the other)? Listen to find out some of these answers, AND how you can help us answer the biggest one! Before you ask, no, we won't be talking about Will Smith and Chris Rock at the Oscars because we recorded before then. But we do challenge each other to a rousing game of Can We Be Friends! Jack and Joe answer the film taste questions they pose to other podcasters and end up having a good time. CW for brief mention of suicide depictions in the film Wristcutters: A Love Story.

Episode Synopsis: Annabel Farry's forte is in finding a balance between the personal and political, theory and practice, embodied time and clock time, and the physiological and spiritual. She's a midwife, parent and academic, and a third generation Lebanese immigrant to Aotearoa who considers herself Tangata Tiriti. In this episode, she talks about facilitating cultural safety in birthing services as well as in midwifery education, validating the anxieties of birthing people whilst ensuring equitable care, and ensuring her children can claim their birthright of Te Reo – whilst acknowledging the loss of her Lebanese ancestors' names and language.Episode notes: Comparing perinatal outcomes for healthy pregnant women presenting at primary and tertiary settings in South Auckland: A retrospective cohort study: https://www.midwife.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Jnl-55-article-1-Comparing-perinatal-outcomes.pdfMidwives' decision-making around artificial rupture of membranes in low-risk labour: https://www.v2.i3-uat.nz/our-work/resources/halo-tool-artificial-rupture-of-membranes-poster/Pasifika women's choice of birthplace: https://www.midwife.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Jnl-54-article-2-Pasifika-women.pdfMusic in this episode includes ‘Can We Be Friends' by Lobo Loco, used under a Creative Commons license from Free Music Archive.

For the first episode of Geek Girl Reviews, Amanda & Monika talk about the book they wished they read when they were younger: Sam Maggs' (http://sammaggs.com) book "The Fangirl's Guide to the Galaxy: A Handbook for Girl Geeks" might become your holy grail of girl geekdom if you ever wanted to find out more about Fangirls and eventually want to become one. Sam Maggs - who you can find on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/sammaggs/), Twitter (https://twitter.com/sammaggs) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/SamMaggsSays) - is a Canadian expat writer living in Los Angeles who shows the reader in a fun, quirky and loveable way what it is to be a fangirl (CAN WE BE FRIENDS?), how to find geek friends and bring existing friends to the geeky dark-side, and all the things you need to know when you visit a Convention for the very first time (and all the other times after that). Not only does she give insights why Geek Girls rock, the book helps who feel a little bit like misfits amongst others, and helps them own their true selves. While there might not be a lot of new things for the hardcore-geeky hosts, they would recommend the book to everyone who isn't that knee deep into nerdism, or everyone who wants to find out more about the female identifying geeks in the world (AND WE ARE MANYYYY). You can get the book on: Amazon USA (https://www.amazon.com/Fangirls-Guide-Galaxy-Lexicon-Modern/dp/159474789X/) Amazon UK (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fangirls-Guide-Galaxy-Lexicon-Modern/dp/159474789X/) Amazon DE (https://www.amazon.de/Fangirls-Guide-Galaxy-Lexicon-Modern/dp/159474789X/) and at your local book shop =) If you’ve enjoyed this episode, please check out some of our others!
