Meet the podcast host, Lara Ehrlich.
Lara is the author of the novel Bind Me Tighter Still (Red Hen Press, 2025) and Animal Wife (Red Hen Press, 2020), both stories about women’s transformations from girls into wives, mothers, and monsters.

We open with Hannah Fraser, a world-renowned professional mermaid and environmental advocate. Her work spans short films, music videos, ad campaigns, photo shoots, environmental documentaries, large-scale events, aquariums, and festivals—spaces where she brings myth to life in service of the planet.
