MAMA RAE PODCAST

Before light. Before language. Before form. There was silence. In this return episode of The Mama Rae Podcast, Mama Rae gently explores the Genesis creation narrative — not as doctrine, but as a psychological and philosophical reflection on what it means to create. What if creation wasn’t born from power… but from a longing to connect? Through grief, stillness, and the quiet that followed Panda’s...

Before you eat that… let’s pause. In this reflective episode of The Mama Rae Podcast, Mama Rae invites listeners into a deeper exploration of one of Earth’s most misunderstood beings: the octopus.

When host Mama Rae started watching The Carman Family Deaths on Netflix, she expected yet another tragic case where an autistic person was mistreated and unheard.

This episode examines the unsolved deaths in the Carman family — including the disappearan...

Did you know the Sun doesn’t rise in the exact same spot every day? If you photographed the Sun at the same time daily for a full year, you’d capture a remarkable shape: a tilted figure-eight known as the analemma. 🌞 This pattern proves Earth is tilted, rotating, and orbiting in an elegant cosmic dance. But beyond the science… is a message. A loop of light. A symbol of eternity repeated against t...

This week, Mama Rae pulls back the curtain on the kind of labor no one talks about — especially the labor neurodivergents carry alone. After rearranging her entire schedule to record a collaborative episode, only to be left with exhausting production work, Mama Rae realized a deeper truth: ND, (women in particular) often become the planners, fixers, editors, and emotional backbone of every space t...

Melatonin does more than put you to sleep — it opens a door. In today’s episode, Mama Rae explores the pineal gland like you’ve never heard it before: biologically, spiritually, and symbolically.

This e...

In this concluding installment of Episode Three, Mama Rae brings the investigation full circle — exposing what happens behind closed doors in licensed group homes for autistic adults, and shining a light on a system that too often protects institutions instead of the people inside them.

What if Mars didn’t just fail as a planet — what if it was killed? In this episode, I share the realization that hit me like lightning: what if Mars’ two tiny moons, Phobos and Deimos, aren’t really “moons” at all… but the broken pieces of a larger moon that once kept the planet stable and alive? Because if a moon can stabilize a world — like ours does for Earth — then losing one might be enough t...

I hopped on the mic for a quick solo episode today because one of my listeners emailed me at mamarae@mail.com asking if I could go deeper into something I mentioned during my conversation with BigTree — the Mars Viking life experiment from 1976, the one NASA quietly pushed aside even though it may have been the first scientific detection of life on another planet. So here it is — the full breakdow...

What if the world we’re living in isn’t what it looks like? What if the internet, the news, the phones we use, and even the information we’re given are all part of a larger interface — one we were never meant to notice? In this episode, I sit down with Josh — aka BigTree — a childhood friend I’ve known since the late 90s, who has quietly built a platform called TreeHouse Entertainment that may alr...

Welcome back to The Mama Rae Podcast. In this episode, we revisit something I mentioned briefly on a previous episode — an interstellar object, now officially named 3I/ATLAS, is passing through our solar system. This is only the third confirmed interstellar visitor in human history… and yet it is receiving almost no public attention. We walk through what 3I/ATLAS is, what it’s made of, how fast it...
