Canadaa month ago - Great podcast
Loved Creation Myth season 9. Thank you for your work, Helena de Groot and the team around you. The podcast echoes my own personnal reproduction questionnings, but is pertinent for people who don’t have these questionnings too. It asks (and answer!!) the question : what are we actually doing with our lives and what does it mean to be alive? Really great work, great journalism.
