Mary Haddock-Staniland

On this week’s show hosts Rowan and Rebeckah replay an encore interview with New Zealand transgender personality Mary Haddock-Staniland. Together they spoke about the importance of diversity, visibility, and the future. New Doctor Who BBC audio drama ‘Stranded’ will have a trans companion, played by trans actress Rebecca Root (who had been in Doctor Who audio dramas before, but always in cis roles). We have our warm and fuzzy segment and news from around the world. Our highlighted music is from TASH SULTANA. Tash is a non-binary “one person band” from right here in Melbourne.
