The Feral Crone Podcast is unapologetic, unfiltered, and gloriously untamed. Hosted by sisters Karen and Deborah—two fierce women over 50 who revel in their wisdom, wit, and wildness—this podcast refuses to soften the edges of aging. Each episode dives headlong into the messy, magical realities of midlife and beyond, weaving sharp humor with raw honesty and a healthy dose of rebellion. From provocative conversations to feral detours, Karen and Deborah reclaim the word crone as a badge of power, inviting listeners to laugh, rage, and rise with them in the second half of life.

There are curses, kittens, and even a bit of astrology for The Orange Stain tossed into the mix. In the end, it’s two crones, one podcast, and way too many TikTok-inspired decisions.

Send us Fan Mail PSA: If you feel like you might turn into a wild animal at any moment—you are not alone. Life got weird, and it took us a minute to get this second episode recorded... but we’re back, with some BITE. In this episode, we rip into Nightbitch —the book (and soon-to-be movie) that turns motherhood into something wild, primal, and gloriously untamed. Rage, blood, transformation... this...
