The StickyBeak
Inside the Last Tent Boxing Show on Earth

In this episode of The StickyBeak, I head to Nambour, a town on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland to experience Fred Brophy’s Boxing Troupe — the last tent boxing show in the world. Part documentary, part personal adventure, this story explores the gritty history of tent boxing, Fred’s carnival upbringing, and what really happens inside a travelling boxing tent.

With real audio from inside the tent and reflections from the night, this episode captures a uniquely Australian tradition that won’t be around for much longer. Take a ringside seat and step into a fading piece of Australian history.

The Cabbage Patch Kids Craze: The Wild True Story Behind the Toy That Sparked Riots

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.

Breaking the Binary: Inside the World of Drag Kings

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.

The Straight Guy Who Became a Gay Adult Film Star: The Wild Story You’ve Never Heard

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. Follow him here:

Beyond the Chant: Inside the Hidden World of the Hare Krishna Movement

What really happens when you die? It’s a question that’s puzzled humanity for centuries — and for the Hare Krishna movement (formally known as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, or ISKCON), the answer is rooted in a deeply spiritual philosophy about the soul, karma, and reincarnation.

In this episode of The StickyBeak, Mon sits down with Bhakta Dasa, a Minister of Religion for ISKCON and a respected voice within the Vaisnava Hindu community, to explore the Hare Krishna perspective on life, death, and the afterlife.


Originally recorded for Mon’s 2020 series Dying with Mon, this conversation offers rare insight into Hare Krishna beliefs, the cycle of birth and rebirth, and how spiritual practice shapes the way devotees understand dying — and truly living.


Thank you to Bhakta Dasa for sitting down for a chat.

Inside Surrogacy: What It’s Really Like to Carry a Baby for Someone Else


What really happens when you carry a baby for someone else?


This week on The StickyBeak, we dive into the emotional, ethical, and legal realities of surrogacy — through the story of Yessenia, a U.S. surrogate and content creator. From medical risks and legal grey zones to celebrity surrogacy scandals and the ethics of creating families, we explore what it truly means to give birth for another person.

If surrogacy is done with care, consent, and love — should anyone else have a say?

A powerful and deeply personal look at the world of surrogacy, motherhood, and modern family-making.


Thank you to Yessenia for sharing her experiences.

Can You Really Live Without Food? The Breatharian Belief

Can you really live without food? Some people say yes. Followers of Breatharianism believe humans can survive on nothing but air, sunlight, and “life energy.” It’s a movement that blurs the line between spirituality and science—and sparks intense debate.

In this episode of The StickyBeak, Monika O’Hanlon speaks with Jerome Shaw, a Breatharian advocate, to uncover what truly drives this fascinating (and controversial) lifestyle. From ancient fasting traditions to modern wellness extremes, we explore the philosophy behind Breatharianism, why people believe in it, and the real dangers that come with giving up food entirely.

Monika also dives into the science of fasting, human nutrition, and belief itself—asking the big question: Can the mind really overcome biology?


Thank you to Jerome Shaw for taking the time to share his experiences.

Why Victorians Were Obsessed with Death


In the Victorian era, mourning wasn’t just an emotion — it was a way of life. From black veils and funeral etiquetteto hair jewellery and post-mortem photography, grief became an art form — and death, a thriving industry.


In this episode of The StickyBeak, Monika O’Hanlon dives into the darkly fascinating world of Victorian mourning culture — a time when death was public, ritualistic, and deeply personal.


Monika is joined by Al, a U.S.-based collector of Victorian mourning artifacts, who shares eerie insights into the era’s most curious traditions. Together, they uncover:

  • Why Victorians were so obsessed with death and the afterlife
  • The fear of being buried alive — and the strange inventions to prevent it
  • The meaning behind mourning jewellery made from human hair
  • How grief became both a fashion statement and a social expectation


From superstition to sentimentality, this episode explores how Victorian mourning rituals reveal more about life than death itself.

The Women Who Bite Back: Inside the Legend of Vagina Dentata


For centuries, the legend of Vagina Dentata—the “toothed vagina”—has terrified and fascinated cultures around the world. Tales of flesh-shredding femmes fatales and man-eating wombs aren’t just scary stories—they reveal deep truths about power, sexuality, fear, and control.

Discover how this chilling legend has been used as both a warning and a metaphor, and uncover the hidden messages behind the myth.

Living with Herpes: The Sex, Shame, and Surprising Truth

Herpes is one of the most common — and most misunderstood — sexually transmitted infections in the world. In Australia, around 1 in 8 sexually active adults has genital herpes… and the real number is likely much higher.


So why is there still so much shame and stigma around something so ordinary? And what does living with herpesactually look like today?

In this episode of The StickyBeak, I speak with Allie, a certified Herpes Coach and founder of Beyond Herpes, who helps people navigate diagnosis, disclosure, and dating with confidence.

Allie opens up about her own story — from getting herpes to transforming her experience into empowerment — and shares insight into what life with herpes is really like.


This episode is raw, informative, and empowering — whether you have herpes, know someone who does, or just want to replace fear with facts.

A huge thank you to Allie for her openness and wisdom.

Demons Among Us

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Mark Gardener, AKA the “Accidental Exorcist.” Mark shares how he found himself in the unexpected world of exorcism, what his work entails, and the fascinating—and sometimes chilling—stories from his unique career.


As we touch on some heavier topics, including a discussion about suicide, if you're not feeling up to it, maybe skip this episode. And if you feel like you need to speak with a professional, get in touch with lifeline here: https://www.lifeline.org.au/


Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Fun fact: Mark’s extraordinary story even inspired a movie!


Disclaimer: While we discuss intriguing claims in this episode, such as miraculous healings, I wasn’t able to find solid evidence to verify these. Keep an open mind, but approach these with curiosity and caution.

Confessions of a Brothel Manager

There’s an hour of the day when cheaters creep in. A place where people go to chase their wildest desires. And an eight-second rule that can totally change the course of someone’s life—maybe even end it.


Today, we’re stepping inside one of Europe’s largest brothels with Catherine De Noire—a woman who’s seen it all. You might already recognize her from social media, where her posts have gone gangbusters, but now she’s pulling back the curtain on what really goes on behind closed doors.


We dive into:

🔥 What it’s actually like managing a high-end brothel

😱 The wildest client requests she’s ever received

⏳ The infamous 8-second rule and why it’s so important


... and SO much more.


Catherine is insightful, warm, and completely unfiltered—this is one episode you don’t want to miss!


Thank you so much to Catherine for taking the time to have a chat. Follow her here:

Dead Famous: Touring LA’s Killer Past

I’ve got a bit of an interesting one for you today. I’m speaking with Adam from Grave Line tours in LA.

We do go into lots of detail in the ep but basically it’s a murder tour. And it’s one of those things which I feel a bit weird about… But a the same time, I consume true crime content.

So it’s a bit of a funny one, and we do speak about the ethics of running this sort of business, but I’ll tell you what – Adam really knows his stuff, and these tours are more than just gory moments – it’s the history of one of the most interesting cities on the planet.


Now you’ve probably already clocked it, we are speaking about some pretty heavy and graphic topics, if you’re not feeling up to it, maybe save this episode for another time.


I really enjoyed this conversation, and I hope you do to…. Here’s Adam.

Mermaids: Myth, Mystery, and a Splash of Conspiracy

Mermaids have captivated human imagination for millennia. These mysterious beings, half-human and half-fish, have appeared in the myths and legends of cultures around the world, from the ancient seas of Mesopotamia to the icy waters of the North Atlantic. But where did these stories come from? What inspired our ancestors to create such enchanting and sometimes terrifying beings?
