This week I was drawn into the wonderfully chaotic world of words, specifically, their layered history.

Most of the words we use today once had completely different meanings, and that history is absolutely bonkers! 

So that’s what Sunday’s show is all about: a select few words, their history, and what they used to mean!

• Airheart - Taking Care of Myself
• Serendipiti - Ajar

We talked all things Distrosub: what inspired the platform, the current state of streaming, the music industry as a whole, the challenges of building something from the ground up, and plenty more along the way.

This Sunday, we bring that conversation to a close with Part 2—the final instalment of our special two-part interview.

From Dr Cipa's book Is Harpo Free? And other questions of the metaphysical screen,  to film, television, the philosophical, and the downright hysterical, we wrap up a conversation that wandered through big ideas, memorable stories, and plenty of laughs along the way.

Because yes, female monsters are terrifying...

But what can they tell us about the societies that imagined them?

This Sunday, we’re travelling from the ancient cities of Mesopotamia to the myths of Greece and the snowy landscapes of Japan to meet:

 LAMASHTU — an ancient Mesopotamian figure feared as a threat to pregnant women, mothers and infants.

 LAMIA — a queen transformed by loss into one of Greek tradition’s most enduring monsters.

YUKI-ONNA — Japan’s mysterious Snow Woman: beautiful, deadly, and far more complicated than a simple villain.

Three cultures. Thousands of years of storytelling. And three very different monsters shaped by fears of loss, grief, nature, death and the unknown.

Because monsters don’t just tell us what people feared.

Sometimes, they tell us something about the people doing the fearing.
