Mother is a Question

This is an invitation into the depths of mothers’ hearts, minds and stories. Join best friends Julia Metzger-Traber and Tasha Haverty as they crack open definitions of motherhood and listen for the unspeakable through playful, intimate conversations with mothers from all walks of life. Mother is a Question is a portal into the kaleidoscopically different and yet universal experiences of what it means to mother. Not another chat show sharing practical advice from the daily frontlines of mothering, but a space to live in the questions, and enlist the existential and poetic wisdom of those who mother. What would the world be if we took mothers’ questions and their wisdom seriously?

    Show spotlight: Rock that Doesn't Roll

    If you listen all the way to our episodes' end credits (which we hope you do), you know the only way we've been able to make this show is because of something called the Big Questions Project. Well, three other fantastic podcasts came out of the Big Questions Project and in the next few months we’ll be featuring them here on our feed. First up, it’s a show called Rock that Doesn’t Roll. It’s the story of how Christian music shapes the world we live in. It's hosted by the very cool, very thoughtful hosts Andrew Gill and Leah Payne who understand and came from the world of this music--and it really is a world. This episode gets into what happens when motherhood and Christian rock music collide. Enjoy.

    Show spotlight: How to Survive the End of the World

    This week we're sharing the loving and playful podcast, "How to Survive the End of the World" hosted by Autumn Brown and adrienne maree brown. In this episode, "Loving as Family Practice," the Brown sisters explore what they’ve learned about love at the site of their own family, what they are generating as adults building and holding family, mothering children, and some things they have figured out that increase the possibility of love in intentional familial space. Plus zombies. Plus tattoo plans. Autumn Brown and adrienne maree brown, two sisters, share many identities, as writers, activists, facilitators, and inheritors of multiracial diasporic lineages, as well as a particular interest in the question of survival.  Their podcast delves into the practices we need as a community, to move through endings and to come out whole on the other side, whatever that might be.

    Grandmother is a Question (Asha & Isis)

    To wrap up Season 2 we have a love story about a grandmother and her granddaughter -  how they came to know themselves through each other, and how they’ve saved each other’s lives, again and again. It’s a story about home. How we find our place.  Our longing for Motherland.  It’s about destiny– the kind we create and the kind that creates us. And as we prepare to end our season, it’s also a story about taking flight, and saying goodbye.--------------------Listeners, we want to thank you for joining us for the first two seasons of Mother is a Question.

    Mother is a Song

    This episode, we’re traveling to a place and time when mama was the muse–back when musicians in the U.S. were constantly singing about “the one who’s always true,” as one of these songs goes. One hundred years ago in the U.S., in the early days of recorded music, a lot of the songs people were listening to were about one particular person: mother. Thanks to Sarah Bryan, the Association for Cultural Equity, and to Dust to Digital for inspiring this episode.Mother is a Question is created by Natasha Haverty and Julia Metzger-TraberOur editor is Rob RosenthalOriginal Music by Raky Sastri and Julia ReadManager of The Big Questions Project: Courtney FleurantinCoordinating Producer: Emmanuel DesarmePost-Production: Sandra Lopez-MonsalveExecutive Producer: Genevieve SponslerCover art: Pinterest, anonymous

    A Mother’s Tripped-Out Trip to Guilt, Self-Doubt, Ego Death… and Back (Negin Farsad)

    Comedian and mother, Negin Farsad, got a strange assignment - one that sent her on an unexpected trip– a trippy trip– a hero’s quest– into the depths of her unconscious mind... where it turned out, all the monsters of motherhood were there waiting for her.Four years out from giving birth, Negin hadn’t thought she was avoiding a whole lot.  In fact as a comedian, she considered it her job to reveal the hardest things about her life on stage every night–to turn them into jokes. She had even turned her harrowing birth into laughs.  But little did she know how much was still lurking in the dark unknown.  How much there was to discover.  How much there was to heal.She told us all about it. This conversation is really special, because Tash and Julia got to talk to Negin together!Check out Negin's comedy.  Neginfarsad.com; @neginfarsad  She's hilarious!And the article that she wrote for Afar magazine about this trip.Mother is a Question is created by Natasha Haverty and Julia Metzger-Traber. Our editor is Rob Rosenthal.Original Music by Raky Sastri and Julia Read; other music by APMManager of The Big Questions Project: Courtney FleurantinCoordinating Producer: Emmanuel DesarmePost-Production Audio Engineer : Sandra Lopez-MonsalveExecutive Producer: Genevieve SponslerArt by Richard GrayFollow us on instagram @motherisaquestion

    Should I Mother in a Melting World? (Elizabeth Rush)

    Elizabeth Rush has spent her career writing about climate change--her book Rising was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 2019. Before Liz made her decision of whether to become a mother, she felt like she needed to go to the end of the world–Antarctica–and stand face to face with a melting glacier. In 2019, Liz jumped on a research vessel bound for Thwaites Glacier, with a deep longing to become a mother. She knew that the experience might change that feeling–that maybe, even, the glacier would have a message for her: tell her the best thing she could do for the world was actually sacrifice that longing to have a child.Mother is a Question is created by Natasha Haverty and Julia Metzger-Traber. Our editor is Rob Rosenthal.Original Music by Raky Sastri and Julia Read; other music by APMManager of The Big Questions Project: Courtney FleurantinCoordinating Producer: Emmanuel DesarmePost-Production: Sandra Lopez-MonsalveExecutive Producer: Genevieve SponslerArt by Richard GrayThe Quickening by Elizabeth Rush

    Mothering between Life and Death (Katherine)

    Katherine is a farmer.  She always thought of herself as in control, someone who could plan for any situation.  But when her son died after birth, that old her died too.  "The world" she says, "is out of control, and any type of control that I experience is a figment of my imagination."  But the river keeps flowing, the birds keep singing, and the garlic still needs to be harvested. How can it all exist at the same time?  Here's her story.Mother is a Question is created by Julia Metzger-Traber and Natasha Haverty.
