    When I think of podcasts that have truly shifted the way I think about something, this one comes to mind. Loved the latest episode about fairy tales. Well done!

  • Wrong

    Louise is wrong about laws in the USA. You are required to have a fence around your pool and bicycle helmets are required for children. Do research better 😊

    Not sure how I'd improve upon it. She's very pretty so maybe a video version?

  • Unconvincing

    Do you suppose that maybe, when she gets home, Perry pulls on the dungarees and heads off to her socialist book club? Nothing about her “trad” persona is convincing. Thin, indefensible positions on “Anglo” superiority, advanced by someone who can easily see the other side of the argument. Indifference to children and to (real-life) mothers. It’s a fab moneyspinner, of course: will pay for plenty of blue hair dye in retirement.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

When hunter-gatherers collide with modernity | Maiden Mother Matriarch 213
Q: What explains the dramatic population decline after European contact?
A complex mix of introduced diseases, disrupted traditional life, and violent frontier encounters that together decimated populations, with local community knowledge and records underscoring the scale and regional variation of these impacts.
The Status Game | Maiden Mother Matriarch 212
Q: What is one practical way listeners can protect their mental health against status volatility?
Deliberately engage in multiple status games simultaneously so losses in one area are buffered by gains in others, reducing the risk of a total identity crisis when one status shifts.
The Status Game | Maiden Mother Matriarch 212
Q: Can you explain the difference between dominance, virtue, and success as status games?
Dominance centers on controlling attention and punishing dissent, virtue follows rules and moral signaling, and success relies on demonstrable competence and tangible contributions that earn respect within the group.
The Status Game | Maiden Mother Matriarch 212
Q: Why do you think status is as essential as oxygen for social beings?
Status acts as a signal of belonging, value, and access to resources; without it, people fear ostracism and the collapse of social networks, which historically threatened survival.
The spectre still haunting us
Q: Why do you think the term fascist has become a placeholder for a wide range of political behaviors, sometimes inaccurately?
The term has gained so much rhetorical power that people use it as a blanket accusation, which can obscure the specific, nuanced origins of ideologies. It's easy to overgeneralize to express moral outrage, but that can dilute understanding of the actual political dynamics at play.
