CountermelodyEpisode 65: 1935 (HB2U, Mommie Dearest!)This coming Saturday, December 19, is an important day for my family: it’s my mother Jane’s 85th birthday. To pay tribute to this event, and to this very special woman, I’m presenting a program focusing on the year 1935, and important milestones in film, musicals, and the hit parade. There was such a dizzying variety of musical material in this year that it was challenging to organize, but I focus on young artists who were just entering the scene (Judy Garland, Carmen Miranda, and Édith Piaf) to émigrés to and from America (including Marlene Dietrich, Paul Robeson, Joséphine Bake...

Morpeth MomentsThe Aberglassyn MurderSend us a textViolence against women is one of the world's most intractable problems. Historically, Australian society has told men they need to be physically and mentally tough, which normalised male aggression. During the 19th and 20th century, housewife manuals routinely instructed women, as the 'gentle sex', that it was up to them to manage the moods of the men around them. Warning: This episode may be distressing to some listeners. On the 2 March 1851, Patrick McNamara went to his brother-in-laws hut at Aberglassyn, where his wife Rose was staying and murdered her.

Morpeth MomentsThe Maitland Poisoning Case - Burton and Keep - Part 1Send us a textI found this story by accident. I initially looked at the case where a woman, Mrs Mary Ann Burton and her step-granddaughter, Sarah Louisa Keep, poisoned the younger woman's husband William Henry Keep. While researching this story and as I turned the pages and looked at further newspaper reports, I was left aghast. It was hard to believe that these two so called respected members of the community, weren't found out sooner. Their lives inside the home must have been an unusual one. Hope you enjoy this story as much as I have enjoyed...
