Vanitaw - charting a course through life's little bends without use of a satnav with a bossy voice.      

Imagine a woman in a place she's never been before. Imagine there's precious little advice on how to navigate out of the place, despite being in a First World country. That woman is Luna C. and it would probably be better if she didn't talk to Nick. Damnit. She talked to Nick.     

Luna C. is a woman of a certain age who is navigating the brain-bending world of menopause, child rearing, benzodiazepine dependence, mental health challenges, lockdowns and all the other insults the modern world can throw. Once upon a time she had a six figure job and could drive a car. Today Luna can't even balance on one leg.      

Nick Pringle is a middle-aged white-guy, the world's favourite kind of person right now. He is a veteran broadcaster with a wide and varied career from political chat shows, to music documentaries. He now spends his time pottering about the badlands and thinking about things. Nick enjoys naps.      

Luna chose Nick for Vanitaw - a show about serious health issues - because she knows Nick can bring the light of humour into darkness, and that laughter is one of the best medicines.            

CONTACT   
If you would like to contact Nick, Luna, or any of the Vanitaw team, please do. Unfortunately it's not yet possible to do a talkback podcast, but there is an email address you can use if you would like your feedback to be heard:      

speak@vanitaw.com.     

It would be preferable if your feedback was not super cruel. It's the first time podcasting together for Luna and Nick. They are learning on the job and do make some stuff-ups, but the whoopsies are sometimes funnier than the things they get right.      

IMPORTANT SERIOUS NOTE.  
This podcast is meant for entertainment purposes only.       

Neither Nick or Luna is any kind of health specialist. They are not giving advice, they are telling Luna's story.      

If anything discussed in Vanitaw causes you distress, please seek help from a professional or contact Lifeline on 13 11 14.      

Luna has three requests for the listener:   
1. Stay safe.    
2. Make your health a priority.    
3. Show compassion to all, but most especially yourself.
