| 6/28/26 | ![]() Marianne Moen - Gender, Identity and Power in Archaeology | We've waited a long time for this one! In today's episode, we talk with Dr. Marianne Moen. Dr. Moen is an archaeologist best known for her work on gender, identity, and power in the Viking Age. Her scholarship utilizes archaeology, feminist theory and mortuary studies, offering a reinterpretation of Norse societies and the role of women within them. We discuss how earlier generations of archaeologists, influenced by gender norms in their own eras, often interpreted evidence in ways that minimized women’s authority and agency, distorting or erasing the reality of the accomplishments of women of the past.That's ground zero for the issues that we champion on this podcast. Make Matriarchy Great Again listeners will truly enjoy this!Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden co-host. | 48m 11s | ||||||
| 6/14/26 | ![]() Max Dashu talks Mother Law | The inimitable Max Dashu talks with Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden about evidence for women-led societies in indigenous peoples around the globe, as well as the evolution of the term Matriarchy. We all know what we mean when we say "patriarchy" but what does "matriarchy" mean and what else do we call it? How does it change shape in different places and times?Check out Max's archives at https://www.suppressedhistories.net/ | 54m 02s | ||||||

Both women were born in the late 1800s, but both of them made impacts in their fields that affect our lives to this day.Join Lauren Torres and Kimberly Rockwell as they discuss the legacies (sometimes controversial!) of these two fascinating women. | 36m 32s | ||||||
| 11/9/25 | ![]() "Karen" -- Deconstruction of a Slur | "Karen"-- a term that became ubiquitous in 2020. It was used as a verbal cudgel to upbraid a certain type of woman: white and very outspoken.Some say the term had its origin as a response to racism; others say it was the product of misogyny. Either way, the word "Karen" became a weapon of derision, mockery and humiliation. It was a way, quite simply, to silence a group of women. Join us as we do a deep-dive into the history and facts surrounding this term and in our quest to uncover the truth of its purpose. Also, please, feel free to share with us your thoughts and experiences with the word at info@34circe.com | 1h 06m 11s | ||||||

| 7/28/25 | ![]() In Memoriam - Sally Roesch Wagner - Sisters In Spirit: Suffragists and Native American Women | Our final episode of the season is an encore presentation, in memoriam, of the first episode of the season-- Sally Roesch Wagner and the Suffragists-Native American connection. Sally Roesch Wagner passed on June 11 at the age of 82. She was an historian of women's history and the Women's Suffrage Movement, an author and an educator. She was the founding director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation and Social Justice Dialogue Center which honored the accomplishments of pioneering suffragist, Matilda Joslyn Gage.*****In this episode: The Iroquois, alternatively referred to by the endonym Haudenosaunee, are a confederacy of Native Americans and First Nations peoples in northeast North America. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Lucretia Mott had formed friendships with Haudenosaunee women that enabled them to see the real possibility of creating a very different structure for their American culture, a matriarchal one, like the one that their Haudenosaunee sisters had experienced for generations. We talk to Sally Roesch Wagner about this amazing story and how she discovered this overlooked pieced of American feminist herstory.Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden co-host. | 1h 01m 47s | ||||||
| 7/6/25 | ![]() In Praise of the Goddess -- Summer Goddesses | In the Northern Hemisphere, this is the time of year when cultures celebrate the return of light and warmth after the long, cold nights of winter.

| 5/19/25 | ![]() Tár - Cinema Reviewed From A Matriarchal Lens | Marvelously acted, written and director, the film Tár was a critical darling. But this will not be a film review, but rather an appraisal of how Hollywood handles strong women in leading roles. We will examine the movie from different perspectives--feminist, cultural, personal-- and give our own take on what this kind of movie says about how strong women are handled in popular entertainment. Sean Marlon Newcombe, Lauren Torres and Kimberly Rockwell host. | 47m 46s | ||||||
| 5/7/25 | ![]() Being A Bad Martha - The Female Gaze in Filmmaking | Kimberly Rockwell and Dawn "Sam" Alden discuss the Female Gaze - is there such a thing? How does a film camera typically "look" at a woman vs how it "looks" at a man? We've been discussing movies a lot this season, so we thought we'd zoom out (pun intended) and think about how filmmaking controls the way we perceive characters in the movies we watch. | 1h 01m 25s | ||||||
