- Long
A range of interesting topics over across the series (haven’t listened to them all but most) but episodes and series could be shorter and punchier with better editing. Hosts often indulge in unnecessary side stories and ignore the elephant in the room. Series 9 for example, had a long story about a sailing trip to the North Pole whilst not discussing the impact on her husband.

United Kingdom23 days ago - Sad
I was sad that Helena decided to abort her husband's child with out any real effort to think about how they could manage the baby. I don't know how someone so intelligent managed to get pregnant despite stating she really didn't want kids. It must have been heartbreaking for her husband to loose his kid.

Now the husband has to... more

A very interesting subject and voice. I hesitantly say that as a feminist, I found the voice to be needy and too self and attention seeking, truly vexing to me at times, but that is due to my own judgement and lens and not being able to identify with their experiences, not having had any struggle w the decision to have children, and believe like some others in the podcast, it is the most wonderful part of life. What did resonate was the part that most experience, not believing what you tell them... more
