The StickyBeak

My guest today is Tracey Rhodes, she’s a clairvoyant based on the Sunshine Coast. This is a conversation from about 4 years ago, I met her at the Eumundi Markets. At the time, this was during “deep” covid, I was doing a series about death and dying. I’d speak with people from different movements and religions about what they believed happened when you die. Anyway I got chatting with Tracey and she had this beautiful way of looking at it. It is a bit of a chaotic conversation, it’s such a huge topic and Tracey has so much experience so we just kind of went with the flow, and there’s some special moments I’d forgotten about when I was re-editing it, so you really are in for a treat.  Check out Tracey's website here: https://traceyrhodes.com/Get in touch if you'd like to suggest an idea for an episode or just to say G'day <3INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thestickybeakpodcast?igsh=aG9nMmtvMm00bGx6&utm_source=qrTIKTOK: @thestickybeakpodcastFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/listen.with.monEMAIL: listen_with_mon@outlook.com #podcast #weird #wonderful #exciting #clairvoyant #spirituality #death #dying

I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of movies, TV shows or ads featuring animals – whether it’s a show based on one, like Babe or even if they’re just in the background – like a dog on the street. Did you know there needs to be at least one animal trainer present on set?  My guest today is Jet Shaw, and she does exactly that. She’s also an internationally acclaimed animal behaviourist and educator. She’s worked on some of the biggest movies, like Avatar, and has a career spanning over 3 decades.I'm very aware when it comes to animals and the ethics of them working in show biz, it can be a really complicated topic. It definitely is for me. But what I wanted to explore in this episode was the basics about the actual experience, so we don’t go too far into the politics. It’s a really important conversation, and I think it deserves an entire episode of it’s own. So who knows, maybe one day.What I will say is this… Jet is SO passionate about what she does. Her love for animals is undeniable, and as you’ll soon hear, she’s incredibly strict about the high standard she keeps to ensure the well-being of her animals on and off set. She’s also really funny… You’re going to hear about how Jet became a trainer, how it all works as well as some pretty special moments - you might even recognise a couple of the stars she’s worked with. So without further ado - here’s Jet. Get in touch if you'd like to suggest an idea for an episode or just to say G'day <3INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thestickybeakpodcast?igsh=aG9nMmtvMm00bGx6&utm_source=qrTIKTOK: @thestickybeakpodcastFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/listen.with.monEMAIL: listen_with_mon@outlook.com #podcast #weird #wonderful #exciting #animals #hollywood #interview

Today we’re taking a journey into the world of fashion. A world where a simple piece of clothing can become an icon, a symbol of style, and even a statement of empowerment. In this episode, we’re diving into the history of a garment that has transcended time, culture, and social status: The Little Black Dress (LBD).Get in touch if you'd like to suggest an idea for an episode or just to say G'day <3INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thestickybeakpodcast?igsh=aG9nMmtvMm00bGx6&utm_source=qrTIKTOK: @thestickybeakpodcastFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/listen.with.monEMAIL: listen_with_mon@outlook.com

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.Get in touch if you'd like to suggest an idea for an episode or just to say G'day <3INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thestickybeakpodcast?igsh=aG9nMmtvMm00bGx6&utm_source=qrFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/listen.with.monEMAIL: listen_with_mon@outlook.com

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? Get in touch if you'd like to suggest an idea for an episode or just to say G'day <3INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thestickybeakpodcast?igsh=aG9nMmtvMm00bGx6&utm_source=qrFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/listen.with.monEMAIL: listen_with_mon@outlook.com

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.Check out or get in touch with Oberon Zell here:FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/oberon.zellGreen Egg Forum FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1069823176940972Grey School of Wizardry FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1436042009981163Church of All Worlds FB: https://www.facebook.com/cawincGet in touch if you'd like to suggest an idea for an episode or just to say G'day <3INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thewithmonpodcast/FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/listen.with.monEMAIL: listen_with_mon@outlook.com

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….
