Today we’re turning the clock back to the Industrial Revolution, a time when the world was changing at a breakneck pace, and with it, the way people lived and worked. In this episode, we’re exploring the curious yet almost forgotten profession of... the knocker-upper—a job that was essential in waking up an entire nation, long before the invention of alarm clocks.

Mermaids have captivated human imagination for millennia. These mysterious beings, half-human and half-fish, have appeared in the myths and legends of cultures around the world, from the ancient seas of Mesopotamia to the icy waters of the North Atlantic. But where did these stories come from? What inspired our ancestors to create such enchanting and sometimes terrifying beings?

You might recognise his name, Oberon Zell. I’ve had him on the pod before, he’s incredibly interesting. He identities as many things, including as an artist, author and a teacher. He’s also a wizard and is the headmaster of The School of Wizardry. On top of all of this he’s also the Founder and First Primate of the Church of worlds… Aaand he’s polyamorous. In fact his life-mate, Morning Glory actually coined the term Polyamory!
Genuinely this is one of my favourite conversations. Our chat was recorded about three years ago in the midst of a global covid lockdown. A lot has happened since then, so at the end of this ep I’ll pop back in and give you a bit of an update on Oberon. For now though, please enjoy my conversation with the wonderful Oberon Zell.
Listen to our first chat about the Church of All Worlds here.

I’ve got a bit of an interesting one for you today. I’m speaking with Adam from Grave Line tours in LA.
We do go into lots of detail in the ep but basically it’s a murder tour. And it’s one of those things which I feel a bit weird about… But a the same time, I consume true crime content.
So it’s a bit of a funny one, and we do speak about the ethics of running this sort of business, but I’ll tell you what – Adam really knows his stuff, and these tours are more than just gory moments – it’s the history of one of the most interesting cities on the planet.
Now you’ve probably already clocked it, we are speaking about some pretty heavy and graphic topics, if you’re not feeling up to it, maybe save this episode for another time.
I really enjoyed this conversation, and I hope you do to…. Here’s Adam.

Thank you so much for popping by for episode 30 of the series!
To celebrate I’ve got a bit of a risqué one for you today – so if there are little ears hanging about you might want to save this one for a little later or pop on some headphones.
So a couple of weeks ago I shared an episode about the furry fandom (if you haven’t listened to that one, it’s definitely worth checking out), but in today's chat we dig a little deeper… I speak with Rune who is a Scaly – they’re also part of the furry community (we do go into what one actually is in this chat), but we also explore the more “mature” side of the subculture.
Now this convo was recorded about 3 years ago and at the time Rune was using he/him pronouns, since then they have come out as non-binary. I’ll give you a bit more of an update at the end, but for now… strap in… because things are about to get spicy! Enjoy.

In the spirit of the 2024 Olympic Games we’re revisiting a wonderful conversation I had a few years ago for my Living with Mon series. It's a chat with the legendary Luke Reynolds, a professional strongman – this guys is an absolute beast!
We caught up at a weird time, it was deep covid, so A LOT has happened since then. I love this conversation and I hope you do too.
A massive thank you to Luke for taking the time to have a chinwag.

Today's episode was requested by the wonderful Emma from Melbourne. She wanted a deep dive into the Bermuda Triangle - and I'm absolutely chuffed about it.
I don't think I realised just how mysterious and quite frankly terrifying, the Bermuda Triangle actually is. This episode is pretty spooky, so just a heads up - but I really loved making it, I hope you enjoy it. Thank you so much for the request Emma! If you have an idea for an episode please get in touch, all my contact details are blow.

Today's episode came to be after a recent trip to Mondello, Sicily. We kept seeing these flower pots in the shape of heads - they were everywhere.
So I did a bit of Googling and found out these vases originate come from a legend called Testa di Moro – a tale of love, betrayal and revenge.
