Mother Mine 75: Unintentional
Mothers can be controversial. They can be wonderful. They can be terrible. They can be both wonderful and terrible in turns.
But whatever they are, whatever yours was and is, mothers are universal. Everyone begins with a mother, even if she isn’t around later. In each Mother Mine episode I present one person's stories about their mother — these figures who literally made us. Who are our mothers? What do we remember about them? And how did our mothers — the people who cared for us — shape who we are?
The answers to these questions are the stories of love and loss, hopes, fears, and dreams that define us humans.
Thank you so much to all of our contributors! And a huge thank you to our Kickstarter Backers. You made this happen and I am so grateful!

Mother Mine 71: Aventunera
In this second half of the project we will be hearing from lots of people around the world whose mother tongue is not English. Although many of them will be speaking in English, there will be some episodes in other languages, like this one which is in Spanish.
To honor the story teller, they will be telling the stories in their own voices, and in their own languages. But there will be versions with English subtitles on the Mother Mine Website: https://www.outofmanypresents.org/subtitled-episodes.
Thank you to Santiago Baena for translating this piece, and to Eduardo in Peru for connecting me with the contributor in this episode.

A gorgeous snapshot of this moment in time
With artful editing and skillful storytelling, Katie brings together voices from all over the world to create a beautiful time capsule of this pandemic. Episodes have made me laugh out loud and cry. In a year when it’s been hard to find connection, this podcast has been a safe harbor to return to again and again.
Warm and intimate
Katie does a great job bringing listeners close to each person we hear from on the show, with tasteful editing and thoughtful use of music. Like great movie dialogue, you get all the wise thoughts and deep feelings of actual conversation, with none of the boring parts. Every episode makes me feel like I’ve made a new friend!
Love listening to these powerful stories each week!
A beautifully edited compilation of intricate narratives from people navigating the COVID-19 pandemic around the world!!
