  • Excellent podcast for midwives

    I am a frequent podcast listener and this is one of my favorites! Well produced and the content takes a deeper dive into aspects of birth work beyond a surface level review of the usual topics. The recent podcast about burn out amongst birth workers is a must-listen.
