Acerca de Mattie On The Homefront

Mattie on the Homefront is a podcast about a father and a son discovering their family. After finding wartime letters from my great-grandmother to my grandfather, I get to read them aloud to my dad, bringing together four generations of our family, week-by-week, in an almost daily look at life in the Twin Cities during WWII.

We Had The Usual Amount of Good Time - [Nov 1, 1942]

November has arrived, along with a big storm up at the cabin. But they manage to get up through the snow, and put the cabin to rest for the winter. Back in the Twin Cities, Mattie is volunteering, gambling and listening to football, but not all at the same time.  Plus, we get to know a few more friends, and hear about upcoming Christmas boxes. –––– Characters This Week [https://www.moth.family/photos/]: * Ruby Moe (neighbor and Ken's Latin teacher) * Gwen (Ken's cousin) & George (Gwen's fiancé) * Bob & Glad Gennrich (friends) * The Giertsen's (friends) –––– Website: moth.family [https://www.moth.family/] Contact us: mattieonthehomefront@gmail.com Get notified [https://www.moth.family/#/portal/signup] about new episodes –––– Mattie On The Homefront is produced by Hans Buetow.

episode Put Away So Carefully We Couldn't Find It - [Oct 26, 1942] artwork

Put Away So Carefully We Couldn't Find It - [Oct 26, 1942]

It's only October, but in a cold year, and winter is settling in. The temps are dropping, the car needs winterizing, the tires need vulcanizing, and Wes can't be relied on to get that done. Mattie is trying to sleuth out where Ken is stationed (spoiler: Prince Rupert - the rainiest city in Canada), and is pretty sure she's got it. Also, Mattie buys a new suit, so we speculate on what material she would have picked, and how she felt about the ecosystem of department stores in downtown St. Paul. –––– Characters This Week [https://www.moth.family/photos/]: * Wes (eldest son) * Gram (mom) * Gennrich's (friends from Minneapolis) * Aunt Martha (aunt-in-law) –––– Website: moth.family [https://www.moth.family/] Contact us: mattieonthehomefront@gmail.com Get notified [https://www.moth.family/#/portal/signup] about new episodes –––– Mattie On The Homefront is produced by Hans Buetow.

You too can look like this after 20 months in the Army - [Oct 20, 1942]

This week, we wrap up several ongoing sagas (the watch! the mouse!) as we learn about the Rickety-Rackety Bridge, and shoot a partridge first thing. We also learn a lot about Mattie's pastor, Joseph Simonson, and the future he will have, many years after he presides over the funeral of Matt's Uncle Berndt.  –––– Characters This Week [https://www.moth.family/photos/]: * Uncle Berndt (uncle-in-law) * Aunt Martha (aunt-in-law) * Pastor Joseph Simonson * Gram (mother) –––– Website: moth.family [https://www.moth.family/] Contact us: mattieonthehomefront@gmail.com Get notified [https://www.moth.family/#/portal/signup] about new episodes –––– Mattie On The Homefront is produced by Hans Buetow.

episode You May Have Cousins That You Don't Know About - [Oct 8, 1942] artwork

You May Have Cousins That You Don't Know About - [Oct 8, 1942]

This week, Mattie has feelings, and they're pretty blue. The reality of Ken's departure is hitting her enough to mention it. So she writes him a letter to tell him what she's been up to all week, day-by-day. Plus, one of the most mysterious figures in our story, Mattie's eldest son Wes, takes center stage in our imagination this week as Steve opens up the possibility that he might have had kids we don't know about. There might be more of us just out there, not knowing each other! We spend a lot of time on Wes and his wife, Flo, and how Mattie might have felt about them - TL;DR - much less charitable than her other son. And Steve has an interesting theory why. –––– Characters This Week [https://www.moth.family/photos/]: * Grandma Mick (mother-in-law) * Uncle Berndt (uncle-in-law) * Wes (eldest son) * Flo (eldest son's wife) * Ruth Mae (stepdaughter) * Diane (step grandchild) –––– Website: moth.family [https://www.moth.family/] Contact us: mattieonthehomefront@gmail.com Get notified [https://www.moth.family/#/portal/signup] about new episodes –––– Mattie On The Homefront is produced by Hans Buetow.
