Each episode the host and a guest discuss mothers (and parents) in a specific instance of media (TV shows, movies, books, or video games) and how they inform and betray the expectations of what it means to be a mother.
Don't take apples from strangers, but you can listen to us talk about the fever dream that is Once Upon a Time and its motherly monarch Regina Mills - also known as The Evil Queen. We talk about motherhood that is found, forgotten, and taken as we dissect this character to better understand and answer the question: is Regina our mother?
