Beekeeping, Professional Football and dream interpretation

The second version of last week's episode [some mistakes are unacceptable even at the expense of the 27 something 'plays.']
From the birds feeding their chicks in the wild, to maternity leave laws, breast feeding, menstruation and c-sections.... And what does Al-Qaddafi have to say about all this? The man is - or rather was - not completely crazy.

Feminism, al-Qaddafi and c-sections

In this episode; The presenter excuses herself for being at the mercy of an Arab that refuses to deliver episodes ‘on time.’ The Arab Woman begins to defend herself and quickly moves on to talking about the ‘drone-slaughter’ amongst the honey bees, tango and social distancing, mink factories, the black lives matter movement and the taboo of color, conspiracy theories and internet shut-downs, big news that is shoved under the carpet, baby strollers and helmets, face masks, consumerism, plastic shields, the fear of death and accepting it… a circular argument – a la Arab
Basically a rant, unplugged and unrehearsed… with a cup of tea clinking in the background (verbena, to be exact) and with AWT clearing her throat…. Don’t judge her ‘narration skills’ here folks,  she’s not getting paid for this podcast and let’s not make things bigger than what they are ….

All lives matter in service of the bien

Arab Woman talking about what arises as she navigates through life
through the maze of self and society; looking for meaning; through the eyes of an eco-feminist…  Exploring language, symbolism and dreams, Observing nature and the lives of bees…. 

The topics vary, as does the style… from published and rehearsed works to streams of consciousness live while recording…. And everything in between. 
At times sober - at times insane.. often unedited.... 
Occasionally answering listeners’ questions - if they ever ask them.. 
Doing a guided visualisation when I'm really zen....
