Welcome to the Majellan Podcast. In this podcast we look at an article in the Winter issue of The Majellan about a group called the Bayside Grannies who raise money for grandmothers in Africa. They’re not just any grandmothers. They’re raising their grandchildren because their sons and daughters have been ravaged by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Without their grandmothers these children would be orphans.

Started by Judith Carter in Melbourne, Bayside Grannies have gone from strength to strength. This is their story.

In this podcast we preview an article in the Winter issue of The Majellan about ‘stay at home’ dads.

Melanie Dooner writes about three fathers and their experiences of raising their children at home while their partners are busy being the main bread winners.

Melanie says while stay at home at dads were almost unheard of 30 or 40 years ago, nowadays it’s become more common.

Hope you enjoyed this Majellan podcast. There will be further podcasts so stay tuned.

The topic under discussion in this first podcast is from one of the articles in the Autumn issue of The Majellan ~ the alleged medicinal benefits of cannabis.

Not as many issues are as controversial as cannabis. Its legalisation has been hotly debated since Adam was a boy, and yet there’s still a great divide between those who would welcome its legalisation and those vehemently opposed.

And then there’s the question of whether cannabis is a pain reliever? There are many who swear by its effectiveness to alleviate pain. There are people who have suffered for years with chronic pain who have started taking cannabis.

Majellan contributing writer Suvi Mahonen interviews some of these people and several medical experts in the field. But not all are convinced. Some doctors believe the jury is still out on just how effective cannabis really is!
