The Beauty and the Burdens of the Anti Vaxxers. . . Bee and Stewart’s story.

Whichever way we looked, life was wild. It was like we’d found the farm that Death had forgotten. But he hadn’t. He was everywhere these days. People weren’t even frightened of him anymore. He was being treated like just another regular.
This couple has paid the going price for saying no to the vaccine. Ostracised from many who once claimed to love them, labelled as cookers and conspiracy theorists by those who still allowed them to remain in their lives.
That bill also saw them lose people to every town’s new regular.
But despite all this, they are a gentle, generous and hard-working couple, and it has been an honour to capture a side of them in this video portrait.

Six years on, we’re still here.

That number isn’t just interviews. It includes the rants, the posts, the conversations, and everything else that happens in this space.
In a purely commercial sense, the smart move would be to lock everything behind a paywall. Why do all this work and give it away for free?
Because we’re not a normal podcast. We’re closer to an online community — and a lot of people in this community are doing it really hard. Some of us are living in tents.
We simply can’t, in good conscience, cut those people off because they can’t afford a subscription.
So instead of going fully paid, we want to say this:
To everyone who already supports the work — thank you. You are the only reason we’re still able to keep going.
And if you regularly take something from what we put out, and you can comfortably afford to chip in, we’d be genuinely grateful if you did.
Your support doesn’t just keep the lights on. It keeps this space open for the people who need it most.
Thank you for being here.
