Ever wonder if hot flashes and mood swings could spark a witch hunt? In our latest Mutation Station podcast, we explore the fascinating (and frankly unfair) link between menopause and witchcraft accusations throughout history. Discover how aging women became targets in medieval Europe, with symptoms like facial hair, insomnia, and fiery tempers being labeled “proof” of dark powers. We decode Shakespeare’s Macbeth witch brew, revealing how their spooky ingredients might actually make a great herbal remedy for menopause relief. From the misunderstood “hag” myth to the rise of witchcraft as a modern spiritual practice, this episode is a spellbinding mix of history, myth, and humor.

In this episode of The Mutation Station, we explore the unique world of left-handed and ambidextrous individuals. We kick off by discussing the science behind handedness, from genetic factors to brain structure, revealing why only 10% of the population is left-handed. Historically, left-handedness has had a mixed reputation—linked to both mystery and power but also misunderstood in some cultures. In art, legends like Leonardo da Vinci used left-handed techniques, while in pop culture, characters like Arya Stark and Inigo Montoya bring left-handedness to life, symbolising independence and skill. We also dive into amusing moments with left-handed world leaders, like Obama’s famous overhand writing and Trudeau’s left-handed salutes, showing how handedness adds personality even in politics. This episode celebrates left-handed and ambidextrous individuals, from myth to modern times, as symbols of creativity, adaptability, and unique perspectives.
