This podcast is hosted by Darwin mums and journalists Molly Upstill and Kathleen Gazzola. Welcome to our little podcast where we, as fairly new mums, are having a casual chat about life in Australia's tropical north, raising our family and the challenges and joys of motherhood. We also sit down with with some well-known and some not as widely known women who call the Territory home. We talk about all things NT, their mum journey and why they’re raising their family in the Northern Territory. This podcast is recorded on Larrakia country. Music thanks to Alan Withers.

Jo Hersey on the flood that changed Katherine, marrying your housemate’s cousin, and why dehydrated mango is the only way to eat it.

Jo Hersey reckons she’s had two jobs her entire life, and she’s loved them equally.

She’s a hairdresser by trade, having trained in one of Adelaide’s biggest salons before moving north for love and owning her own salons in the decades that followed.

She’s also currently the Member for Katherine, and you’d be hard pressed finding someone who loves the Top End town more than her.

But she’s also a mum of three, hates mango, believes in manifesting, and is still, 25 years on, emotionally moved by the events of the Katherine Flood in 1998.
