Hello, I'm Frank Turner.

Welcome to Tales from No Man's Land, a podcast that accompanies my album, No Man's Land.

It's about 13 women from history who you probably haven't heard of, but definitely should have.

Their stories are fascinating, moving, funny, and most importantly, worth celebrating and sharing.

Welcome back to Tales from No Man's Land.

I'm sad to say that this is the final episode in the series.

I hope you've enjoyed it. If this is the

first one you'll listen to, you can go back and listen to the other episodes at your leisure.

But we are finishing with a bang, ladies and gentlemen. It's the last song on the album. It's

something of an odd one out as far as the record goes, because the subject is not a historical

female figure yet, I should say, because I wrote a song about my mum,

whose name is Rosemary Jane.

Rosemary Jane was the first out of bed every morning the same,

but there's mouths to be fed with the money she gets

from a man who is dead to himself and dead to everyone else.

When we were coming up with the whole concept for the podcast, there's obviously only one

person who I could interview for a song about my mum, that of course being my mum.

And I didn't know whether she was going to say yes to doing it.

And if she did, how it would go and how we would phrase it and all this kind of thing,

it's quite a deep and personal song. in the end i called her she said that she was happy

to be interviewed so we sat around the kitchen table we got the microphones out and we had a chat and

i hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed making it so this is me and my mum
