We Will Get Past This24 Same MoonHello, do yo believe in faeries? Only, because Sandi thinks she may have a couple living in her book shelves. Even if you don't happen to think that's possible, there's someone, somewhere who believes it is. That's the thing about belief, humans have been relying on religious belief systems for thousands of years and whilst in many practices they are different, so much connects all of them. As Sandi records this, she - like most of us - is far away from many people she loves, but can offer a system of her own...

We Will Get Past This22 In front Of Every Great Women, There's a Man Blocking The View.Hello and welcome to today's corner of calm, as Sandi invites you to retreat with her to her room of books, where past lives of some great and (almost always overlooked) women are being brought into the spotlight. In this episode, we learn why we have Walt Disney's wife Lillian to thank for the most iconic cartoon character of all-time, that Alma Hitchcock's keen eye for detail saved her husband's film 'Psycho' from being a laughingstock and that in sacrificing her own career, artist Lee Krasner ensured her husband was to become a household...

It's the story of a public auction held by Joseph Thompson in order to sell his wife Mary-Ann. Now, no matter how you might be feeling towards your spouse, it's not the best solution to put them up for sale - the postage alone would cost a fortune. On further inspection, Sandi has discovered that this wasn't the only tale of an...

Sandi's managed to unearth her own childhood collection, many of which are depictions of the American Civil War.This inspired a quest through the bookshelves to unearth and re-account some heroic - and largely overlooked - tales of women during that time. As a 16 year old girl, Sybil Ludington, took-on the task of riding 40 miles across the land, at the dead of night to warn of the approaching enemy troops. Whilst Sybil's story is passed-over in favour of that of a male who only rode half the...
