  Speaker 4: No, we are launching our first episode on Wednesday of
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: our brand new podcast called Mum's Gone Tropo, which has

  Speaker 4: been a hell of a lot of fun so far
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: as I'm sure you know, katiecause you're our first.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Guys, which is very exciting. And look, I just love
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the concept behind this. You know, it's all about women
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: that love the Northern Territory, that are raising their families
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: here in the Northern Territory. And you don't have to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: be a woman to listen to the podcast. Anybody can
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: because it's actually really interesting, fascinating stories about territorians.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: We all three of us love the territory, and so
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: many people out there love the territory and there's just
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: you know, being a smaller place, you don't have as.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Much just talking about the NT.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: So there's always great stories of women here doing what
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: we do while also having to do the juggle with kids. Now,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Molly and I are only new to this whole experience. Yes,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: so you know we're talking to women and women like
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: you who have other kids and you know, your pearls
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: of wisdom.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Some mango madness, so much mango madness.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of madness a lot of as well.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: So that's been a lot of fun to hear jokes
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: and funny stories, and we've got a couple of interviews
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: up our sleeve already, just purely because we were working
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: around my Jude date as I hold a three week
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: old baby in my arm, so we had to pre record,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: and I know my waters broke two days before we
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: were meant to interview you, and we had to see
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: schedule a few But it's been a hell of a
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: lot of fun and just a really hopefully a new
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: way that people can get engaged in a different sort
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: of media and here stories that you probably wouldn't hear otherwise.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Everyone listens to you on air, and you, you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: put a little bit of your life on social media.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: But I feel like even with our interview, we got
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: to know a lot more about you as a person
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: and your story and how you got there, and that's
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: something that Kathleen and I really wanted to get across.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: And so when did you girls decide that you were
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: going to start this podcast and what sort of what
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: made you decide that this would be something fun to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: do while juggling children and also jobs.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, well, Molly just called me out of the blue
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: one day and said, this is really random, not work related.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: And I have an idea of a podcast. Do you
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: want to do it with me?
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: And I was really taken aback and didn't really have
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: to think about it too much. Sort of did take
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: a step back and was like, hold on a second,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: let's just can I fit it all in? But I mean,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Molly was heavily pregnant with They've been numbered two, so
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it was like, are you sure you want to do this?
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Is this the crazy hormone speaking genuine about this? But
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: a podcast is something I have wanted to do for
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: a very long time. I couldn't talk under wet cement,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: and obviously I sold ice to the Eskimos and I
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: dragged Kathleen along with me. But I think we have
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: so much. We have two kids out of the same age,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: We both love the territory. We talk about fishing often, camping,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: just life up here and why it is so so good.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: And we have some pretty amazing women in a pipeline
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: and a few more to come as well, and hopefully
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: everybody gets around it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Well. So I know that you've interviewed me, and look,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: there's lots of laughs and lots of crying.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: It's interesting. It's a wild ride for when that comes out.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: If anybody wants to take a listen to that. But
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: who else are you? How else have you interviewed? And
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: who else are you planning on the show.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: So we've got Amy Heatherington, who's obviously a hilarious woman
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: who's currently doing shows around the country about her motherhood journey.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: She already did one a while ago about the newborn phase,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: now doing the toddler phase. Amy Culprit, who's an ABC
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: presenter in the lineup producer there. She's obviously talking about
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the wild, fierce children. There's some great yarns in there.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: And we also did Molly's mother in Law, which she's
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: so fun, a.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Bit of a territory icon, so she moved to the
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: territory for forty years ago and has some of actually
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: the most incredible stories and I think her interview is
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: pretty phenomenal. I have a very good relationship with my
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: mother in law. But sneak peek into that one as
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: two words. Is the Hemsworth Brothers.

  Speaker 2: Hope fully like the people who are listening to it
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: aren't just territorians that they're people into state who you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: probably think, God, why do you live.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: In the territory?
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Why are you choosing to raise your family here?
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Nothing to do?
