with Mon Monika O'Hanlon

Cute as a fluffy bunny, energetic as Tigger on speed and single-minded as a sex-starved sailor on leave (I stole that from her website) it’s the one… the only... Fou Fou Kaboom!
I was lucky enough to see the UK's Burlesque Idol of 2022 in action before we sat down and had a chat, and let me tell you - she's one ridiculously talented human being.
We speak about a lot of stuff – from the history of Burlesque and Fou Fou’s introduction to the artform, to her creative process, being a woman in the entertainment industry and misconceptions about the scene.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

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 conversation we were in the depth of a Covid 19 lockdown, and death was a major topic around the globe. I found this conversation quite comforting, and incredibly interesting.
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Peter, and I really hope you do to.
With thanks to our guest: Peter Heaven

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 this interactive installation where you can actually dance on his grave – it’s a bit dark, but I really love it. And it got me thinking, because I don’t really know much about clowns – well until now..

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!

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! My experience begins and ends with the sims as a teenager. But I’ve always been intrigued. 
We speak about what it’s like as a woman in the industry and trolling, as well as the ins and outs of the gaming world.

Welcome back to the "With Mon" podcast. I'm your host, Monika O'Hanlon, and I am thrilled to have your company today. It is a very special episode because this one was requested by Steph, a lovely listener in Western Australia. I had never heard of "The Dancing Plague" until Steph reached out - such an interesting moment in history. Really enjoyed making this one, so thank you so much for requesting it Steph.
Today, we're going back in time, revisiting a remarkable event that unfolded in the city of Strasbourg, wayyyy back when. This historical phenomenon, known as the Strasbourg Dancing Plague, is truly bizarre... and absolutely fascinating. I hope you like it!
