Welcome to the tenth episode of TONTS Season 5 Matrescence Festival edition, join us as we look back through our Melbourne festival from March 2025.

In this episode you’ll hear from Dr Winnie Orchard again, who spoke with us earlier in the season, Dr Orchard is a cognitive neuroscientist who specialises in understanding how caregiving reshapes our brain and minds and in this episode talks specifically to those going through parenting from a queer perspective.

We invite you also to take care when listening to Claire’s song The Beast after Dr. Orchards talk, the music video with the dance choreography from Bonnie can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNBN7AzHeuM
