  • Intelligent, funny, and naughty! - My fav podcast

    A proud Mannbassador (Barbados), I’ve been listening to the Modern Mann for the last decade. I love the magazine format - Olly’s interviews, Ollies’ side quests and Alix’s always eye-opening segment. MM is a complete package and consistently excellent. If you’re a curious learner, MM is a must-listen.

  • The inseminator

    The interview was interesting but I feel he was judgmental and didn’t really understand the repercussions of his actions. England is small and people will inevitably be unassuming getting close to siblings

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Playback: Closure and Disclosure
Q: What happened when you finally spoke to your father about the abuse?
My father was supportive, asked questions to confirm what I said, and he immediately involved the police, which was uncommon in the community at that time.
Playback: Closure and Disclosure
Q: How old were you when you first faced abuse, and what was the immediate family reaction like?
I was 11 or 12 when the abuse began, and initially I didn't tell anyone, with family reacting through shock and concern once the truth surfaced, including supportive actions from my father.
Playback: I See Dead People
Q: What trends do you see in death care today?
Carla notes the emergence of alkaline hydrolysis as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional cremation and discusses how it might become mainstream, along with ongoing debates about viewing arrangements and the way bodies are represented publicly.
Playback: I See Dead People
Q: What first appealed to you about working with corpses?
Carla explains that she wanted a role where she could assist a pathologist and learn about death in a professional setting, drawn to the 'death aspects' rather than living medical work, and gradually trained into embalming.
The Art Of Human Restraint
Q: What was the biggest project you worked on?
The biggest project described was a full dungeon installation with multiple elements—revolving wheels, a St. Andrew's Cross, whipping benches, a water feature—and a large-scale showroom that demonstrated the full range of products to potential clients.
