  • Wild

    Just listening to the most recent episode, this is wild! Finally these areas of sexism being spoken out loud. Absolute child free zone here but it’s a fascinating part of a wider lived experience.

  • Be a happier parent

    If anything l found this second episode even more interesting and engrossing than the 1 st. The exploration of the historical roles of Mothers and how and why they have evolved was extremely interesting . The interviewer has obviously done his research, .
