Thanks for having me on the program. I was thrilled to be invited to be back on Spirit in Action and enjoyed the conversation immensely. Can't think of a more appropriate platform for the discussion than Northern Spirit Radio, as my novel is northern to its core and celebrates the wonders of the human spirit.
I'm so happy to have made contact with Northern Spirit Radio. It's quite rare to be invited to take part in such an extensive and well researched interview, which I hope will appeal beyond those of us who live on planet mandolin. We went well beyond the allotted time because I actually forgot it was an interview and it turned into a very relaxed chat...! All credit to Mark (the most engaging of hosts!) for that, and for the opportunity to appear.
I don't presume to answer for Alice, but with a tiny bit of research online I found different facts. For example, there are 15 childhood vaccinations, not 50, in the US. The range of required vaccinations in Europe vary by country, so no blanket comparison is valid, but one list I saw makes me think that the number required or mandatory in almost all European countries is similar to what we have in the US. As for health outcomes being different, there are lots of factors, with a likely culprit being the lack of universal healthcare coverage for all citizens in the US, a standard that all other developed nations in the world take for granted.
I prefer to have discussions based on facts and with documentation. Terms like "brain-washed" may or may not be accurate, based on who and what we're talking about, but I would hope for quoting of sources.
Where does Alice Rothchild stand on the egregious process of vaccinations given at birth?
The USA has 50 more vaccinations given to children than Europe and worse health by far than in Europe. When I ask doctors about this they fail to see the connection and blame their patients.
Where does Alice stand on the the brainwashing of the public during COVID and the disaster and criminal use of COVID vaccines?
Mark, it was a warm and scintillating conversation among you, Emma and myself. We discovered a lot— such as our two-and-a-half Catholic childhoods, and the varied routes by which we arrived among Friends thereafter. I hope the podcast and the book can be helpful to listeners of many backgrounds find some sustenance and humor, resources which we’ll all need in the coming years.
And PS. Thanks for collecting and passing along a list of typos we missed in the book’s 550 pages. Nobody’s perfect, but we can fix them in the next printing. Keep up your interviews (and editing!)
I am extremely grateful to Mark Helpsmeet for giving me the opportunity to express my voice - to be continued; thank you Mark!! Blessings to you, feeling grateful for having met you 🙏🏽💚☮️
Thank you both for an amazing conversation. It really did feel like listening in on two friends talking.
Rich, I relate so much to some of the things you discussed, particularly wondering about the relevance of making art in these times, your spiritual exploration, and sometimes being musically overscheduled as an introvert but having no regrets about it.
Mark, I loved your questions and perspective. My favorite question was when you asked how Rich and Holly share spirit between them. What you said about the power of experiences that crack you open like an egg really resonated.

Thanks Mark, it was an honor to chat with you. Appreciate being able to take a deep dive into the music with you!

I really enjoyed my wide ranging interview with Mark Helpsmeet about my memoir, Inspired and Outraged: The Making of a Feminist Physician. Thank you!

Great conversation. Loved listening all the through on my walk yesterday. Some of the tunes reminded me of one of my favorite artists: Bruce Cockburn
Congrats, Rich! Thanks, Mark ❣️
