The StickyBeak

Crop circles have appeared overnight for decades — vast geometric patterns pressed into fields, from rural England to regional Australia. Perfect spirals. Massive fractals. Designs so precise they seem almost impossible. Are they proof of alien life? Elaborate hoaxes? Or something far more human? In this episode of The StickyBeak, Mon explores the UFO sightings, the famous Stonehenge formation that stunned the world, and the quiet confessions that changed everything. Because even if crop circles are made by human hands… the mystery surrounding them refuses to disappear. Aliens, hoaxers, mass belief — and the enduring question: are we alone?

Isadora Duncan changed the world of dance forever. Revered as the mother of modern dance, Isadora Duncan rejected rigid ballet tradition and created a radical new style built on freedom, emotion, and natural movement. She became an international sensation — admired, criticized, and endlessly talked about. But behind the fame was a life marked by heartbreak, scandal, controversy, and profound personal tragedy. In this episode, we explore the extraordinary life of Isadora Duncan — from her rise to global stardom to the deeply personal losses that shaped her art. And we examine the shocking final chapter that cemented her place in history. This is the tragic life of a dance pioneer — and the night that changed everything.

The 27 Club has fascinated the world for decades. Why did icons like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse and Brian Jones all die at 27? Coincidence — or something more? In this episode, we unpack the origins of the 27 Club and separate fact from folklore. From the white lighter myth to Saturn return astrology, from crossroads legends to Illuminati and ritual sacrifice claims — where did these theories come from, and do they hold up? We also explore the role of fame, addiction, industry pressure and the psychology behind why we’re so drawn to this number. Is the 27 Club real — or is it a story we’ve built around tragedy?

What does it mean to fall in love with an object? In this episode of The StickyBeak, we explore objectophilia — a rare and often misunderstood orientation where people form deep romantic relationships with objects. From the woman who married the Berlin Wall to a modern-day objectophile in a committed relationship with a roller coaster, this documentary-style episode unpacks love, attachment, psychology, and stigma. Is it fetish? Is it identity? Or is it something more complex? A curious, nuanced look at one of the most unusual love stories you’ve never fully understood.

At several points in our deep past, humanity came dangerously close to disappearing altogether. Using the latest genetic research, this episode explores the moments when our ancestors were reduced to astonishingly small numbers — and how scientists uncovered these ancient population crashes hidden inside our DNA. From dramatic climate shifts to evolutionary bottlenecks, this is the story of how close humans came to extinction… and how we survived.

Schwingen is one of Switzerland’s oldest and most beloved traditions — a form of wrestling fought in sawdust, governed by ritual, and rooted in rural life. In this documentary-style episode, Mon traces its history from Alpine pastures to national festivals, and examines how women are reshaping a sport built on centuries of tradition.

What happens when women become the client — and men become the product? In this episode of The StickyBeak, host Monika O’Hanlon takes a curious, documentary-style look inside Her Confidant, Australia’s first male escort agency, founded by Anna Grosman. Through Anna’s story, we explore sex work from a rarely examined angle: female desire, emotional labour, intimacy, and what people are really paying for when they hire an escort. With warmth and curiosity this episode looks at how sex work intersects with power, pleasure, loneliness and stigma — and why conversations about women’s sexuality are still so often uncomfortable. Note: This episode is told largely from a heteronormative perspective. Monika acknowledges the gaps — and invites listeners to help shape a future deep dive into women-on-women pleasure and queer sex work. Thanks to Anna Grosman for jumping on the pod.

Faces painted black and white. Faygo flying through the air. A chant of “woop woop” echoing through the crowd. But beyond the chaos and the headlines lies a subculture built on belonging, identity, and community. In this episode of The StickyBeak, Monika O’Hanlon dives into the misunderstood world of Juggalos — exploring the origins of Insane Clown Posse, the mythos of the Dark Carnival, the infamous FBI gang classification, and what it really means to be part of “The Family.” Featuring firsthand perspectives from within the scene, this is a curious, compassionate look at a culture often reduced to stereotypes — and what it reveals about outsiders, stigma, and finding connection in unexpected places. 🎧 Whoop whoop… this one goes deeper than the paint.

What drives someone to collect the darkest objects imaginable? In this episode of The StickyBeak, I sit down with Nick Bowman, a collector of the macabre — and some of the artefacts we discuss genuinely caught me off guard. From rare death-related objects to controversial items involving human remains, this is a conversation that goes far beyond shock value. Nick is thoughtful, open, and deeply aware that macabre collecting isn’t for everyone — and he’s not trying to convert anyone. Instead, he helps bust common myths around the macabre collecting world, especially the misconceptions surrounding human body parts, ethics, legality, and consent. ⚠️ Content warning: This episode discusses dark and heavy topics that may not be suitable for all listeners. If you’re curious about death culture, taboo collections, or the psychology behind why we’re drawn to the macabre, this is a fascinating and unexpectedly thoughtful conversation.

From ancient Minoan boob-lifters to bullet bras, biohazard lingerie, and a surprisingly famous handkerchief hack — this episode dives chest-first into the strange, political, and occasionally ridiculous history of the bra. Host Monika O’Hanlon unhooks the truth behind corsets and control, wartime steel rationing, Wonderbra marketing stunts, feminist myths, and bras designed to do far more than just lift and separate — including ones that double as gas masks. This is a cultural history of lingerie, feminism, fashion, and obsession: who bras were really made for, what they’ve symbolised over time, and why we’re still arguing about them today. It’s a story of cleavage, control, rebellion — and yes, just the right amount of jiggle. Thanks to Mel for requesting this episode.

What if the most meaningful romantic or sexual connection you could have… was with yourself?

In the early 1980s, a strange little craze was born — not in a hospital, but in a cabbage patch. These dolls came with names, birth certificates, and adoption papers… and they sparked absolute chaos. Parents brawled in department stores, priests called them ungodly, and conspiracy theorists went wild. But behind the madness lies a story you probably haven’t heard: claims of stolen art, a soft-sculpture pioneer, and a billion-dollar empire built on a very messy beginning. This episode dives into the wild rise of the Cabbage Patch Kids — from their cult-like frenzy to the artist who may never have received the credit she deserved.

Drag queens have long owned the spotlight — from RuPaul’s Drag Race to brunches, bingos, and club nights. But there’s another side of drag that’s just as bold, creative, and culturally vital… and it’s been overlooked for far too long. This week on The StickyBeak, Monika dives into the world of Drag Kings — performers who’ve been bending gender, challenging norms, and shaping queer culture for over a century. From vaudeville to underground cabaret, punk shows to late-night clubs, kings have always been here, even if mainstream drag hasn’t made space for them. You’ll hear from three incredible drag kings as they share their journeys, their artistry, and how they’re pushing drag into the future. This episode celebrates identity, creativity, and the performers redefining what drag looks like today — whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering drag kings for the first time.

What would you do for money? Have you ever found yourself in a job you never expected — something outside your comfort zone, judged by others, or simply too well-paid to turn down? This week on The StickyBeak, Monika sits down with Zane Robinson, known in the gay adult film world as Elliot Finn — a straight man who unexpectedly became a star in gay adult films, and the self-proclaimed “only straight bottom.” Zane’s story flips assumptions about sexuality, identity, and the choices we make to build a life that works. We explore how he ended up in the industry, what really happens on set, and how he navigated labels, stigma, and public perception. It’s an honest, surprising, and very human conversation about identity, judgment, and the unlikely paths our lives can take. Thank you to Zane Robinson for taking the time to have a chat.
