About this listen

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.

  • Episode 6: The Fleeting and Inspiring Life of Harold the Balloon
    Dec 30 2025

    We chase wonder and keep it honest, from Mall World’s shared dreamscape to the science of sleep, then ground it with grief for a beloved ash tree, rage at state violence, and the quiet revolution of saying no. A Stranger Things moment unlocks a new take on power, while decluttering and boundaries give it room to land. And finally we welcome a new member to the Norton family, Harold the balloon. He was here for a good time, not a long time.


    An Ode to Harold...

    Harold, floating chaos sprite,

    Ceiling goblin, gleaming bright,

    You weren’t “just” party décor,

    You were the guy who saw it all and more,

    A shiny spy, a lazy lord,

    Our household’s hovering celing ward.

    Until one day, your shift was done—

    You drooped, you wrinkled, lost your sun,

    And with a gentle, papery fall,

    You left your post and said, “That’s all.”

    So here’s to you, dear Harold balloon,

    Patron saint of the living-room,

    May every random bit of trash

    Live half as large before it crashes.

  • Episode 5: What If We All Just Wore Pointy Hats?
    Sep 22 2025

    This episode kicks off with the wild energy of a solar eclipse at 29 degrees Virgo, pulling us into a cosmic purge while Saturn, Pluto, and Uranus stir up a kite-shaped storm of chaos. From rapture predictions to the mystical “red heifer” and the bizarre way ancient prophecies are steering modern politics, it’s like the whole planet has become one giant doomsday LARP. But we don’t just wallow—we swap survival tactics, from herbal dream brews and witchy home projects to astrological pep talks and Taylor Swift-fueled optimism. Somewhere between decoding authoritarian texts and embracing our inner Practical Magic aunts, we stumble into the Church of Gnomes—a delightfully weird reminder that if we’re going to feed collective belief systems, they might as well involve pointy hats and eco-friendly whimsy. Equal parts doomscroll antidote and cosmic comedy, this conversation dares to ask: when the world’s on fire, why not dance with gnomes and wear pointy hats?

  • Episode 4: We Hated Them...SO MUCH - and Other Musings

    Eavesdrop on The Disruption Sisters as they prepare for a vampire masquerade, wrestle with old family baggage, and laugh about ordering fairy-tale gowns with two-day shipping. 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.
