Today we're going back to a conversation I had in 2021 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.At the time of this con

The inspiration behind today’s episode is a bit strange actually. I’ve been working at this amazing therapeutic school in London, and there’s this park nearby.. which was once a grave yard. And there lies a very famous pantomime clown named – Joseph Grimaldi. He passed away in 1837, but was the most popular English entertainer of the Regency era. As a tribute they put in th

Well G'day! This could be THE most Australian story you’ve ever heard. A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to have a chat with the ICONIC Vicki Lowing – AKA The Croc Lady. It's still one of my favourite conversations to date, so I thought we'd take a peak back in history and re-visit it. Enjoy!Get in touch if you'd like to suggest an idea for an episode or just to say

Hello! I’ve got a lovely episode for you today. It’s a chat with the wonderful Joy K -  an Esports caster and host currently based in Stockholm.  If you don’t know much about the gaming world, please do not fret!

Welcome back to another episode of the "with Mon" podcast. I'm your host, Monika O'Hanlon, and today, we’re looking at a story I literally had NO idea about. We're diving into the delightful tale of a tyre mascot which somehow influenced the world of gastronomy. You may know him as the Michelin Man, or by his real name, Bibendum.I hope you enjoy it!Get in touch if you'd like

This week's episode is a conversation with the lovely Gazza, who is a Damanhurian. Damanhur is an international community founded by spiritual researchers, pushing the boundaries of perception to bring catalyzed personal-collective growth, and galactic understanding of our connection to the universe.This chat is definitely a little nod to one of my old series, Dying with Mon, and i

This week I speak with a lovely bloke by the name of Rod. He enjoys photography and is engaged to a wonderful lady who is currently living overseas - and he lives with sex dolls. I’m sure you may have already guessed, today’s topic is a little risqué, so if there are little ears about maybe save this for a bit later or chuck on the headphones. Living with Sex Dolls..

Today I'm going to take your breath away - because we're delving into the history of the resuscitation doll mask, affectionally known as... Resusci Anne.I'm not going to lie it's a pretty sad story, but the ending feels pretty positive - plus I found it absolutely fascinating! I hope you enjoy it! Remember if you'd like to suggest a topic for me to explore or someone you think woul

I’m glad to be back in your earholes because I’ve got a pretty special episode for you today.As we do discuss adult themes it may be best if there’s kids around, chuck on those head phones or save this until a bit later.I did this interview a few years back with Darcy who is an ABDL – an Adult Baby Diaper Lover. Now I have to admit, I remember feeling a bit nervous going in
