The StickyBeak

Hello – welcome back to the “with Mon” podcast! This week’s a bit of a special one, I’ve been “rummaging” through some of my old interviews and found a conversation I had with the extraordinary Oberon Zell. Genuinely one of THE most interesting people I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with. He’s an artist, teacher, author. He’s also a wizard, and the Founder and Primate of the Church of All Worlds. We recorded this chat right in the thick of the pandemic – which is wild, it feels like so long ago now. We cover SO many interesting topics, I’m not even going to try and summarise it for you now because it really is best if you hear straight from the conversation. So settle, because you really are in for a treat.

What a treat it is to have you back for another episode of the “with Mon” podcast. Today I have a lovely conversation to share with you. It’s with the legendary… Hetal Dave! She’s India’s first and only female sumo wrestler. Absolutely inspiring, she has such an amazing story, there was even a biopic made about her last year. Just a quick one before we get started - as Hetal lives in the middle of Mumbai, you can hear some background noises – personally I think it makes it more immersive. Hopefully you do too. Enjoy!

A quick message before we get stuck into this week's episode. Unfortunately my Meta account is still suspended as it was hacked so I still don't have access to my Facebook and Instagram pages. I would still love to hear from you so for the time being please only contact me via email on [email protected] . Hopefully I can get this sorted ASAP :)

Hello! It's just wonderful to have you with me as I have a truly “eye opening” episode for you today. Together, we’re “peaking” into the strange and extraordinary world of… The Glory Hole.

Due to the nature of the topic, this one is not for the little ones - maybe save this episode for when you're alone or grab some headphones.

Enjoy!

Things are getting a little spooky today, because we’re going to hear from a real life GHOST HUNTER! That’s right, I was lucky enough to chat with the lovely Lauren – who actually taught me so much. She explains things really well and has also documented some pretty creepy situations.

Well hello stranger! It’s me… Mon! You know – Trips with Mon, Living with Mon, Dying with Mon, North East Arnhem Land with... Mon!  

Yeah I’m back! But this time, I’m doing exactly what you’re not supposed to with podcasting... I’m going broad... while actually - I am abroad. You see, Covid, like for many people, messed up my partner and my plans.  

Now in our early 30s, with biological clocks frantically ticking away, we’re not quite ready for what we thought we would be.

So in early 2023 we decided to move our life across the pond – and cram as much living in as possible… before taking that next step… Which is what I hope to do with this series…  

I’m speaking with some of THE most interesting people on the planet. We’re also exploring topics and historical events which often fall to the way side.

And the best thing is... YOU can get involved. If there’s people you want me to interview or topics you want discussed – send them in, I’m all ears. 

So what’s this thing gonna be called then? Well look, it’s a show about anything and everything. So I’m going to keep it open and call it – WITH MON.

With Mon – coming to your earholes VERY soon!

Hi - Mon here!

I've just released the trailer to a new series I've been working on. It's called Living with Mon and it explores some of the most interesting lifestyles out there.

My favourite thing about this project was getting the opportunity to take some time and just have a chat with all these extraordinary people – some who had completely different views than my own, live polar opposite lifestyles – and I had the best time, and I feel like I really learnt a lot.

So if you’re keen to open your mind, step out of your shoes and take a stroll in someone else’s – search Living with Mon wherever you get your podcasts. Episode 1 of Living with Mon will be dropping very shortly.

I cannot wait to start this journey with you.

We have arrived at the final episode for series 1 of Dying with Mon 💀!

I'm so excited to share this conversation with you! Today I’m speaking with Peter Heaven, a Level 4 guide within the Raëlian movement. If you've never heard of this community, you are certainly in for a treat.

The Raëlian Church was founded in the 1970s by French race-car journalist, Maitreya Rael after an extraordinary encounter with a human being from another planet.

I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Peter, and I really hope you do to.
