Australia2 months ago - So good
I know this is aimed more for women but I think this is a brilliant podcast for anyone. Sarah and Hannah do such a good job with culture and politics news and what it all means, and also explain the bigger picture stuff (like where we are now and how we got here) so clearly and thoroughly.
Apple Podcasts5beneamesAustralia2 months ago - Intelligence and thoughtfulness for Gen Y
Love these ladies. The right balance of politics and pop culture with Gen Y flavour. Just a note for the story on free birth death. Home birth is different to Free birth - which is without any medical support - and what Stacey chose and what Emily supports. The info on home birth is not a match. There is no research on Free birth complications and death. :)
