  • Awful attitudes to babies, parenthood and women

    The Russell Kane episode is AWFUL. Appalling attitudes towards babies, mothers and parenthood. I can’t believe they have made such misogynistic content. It’s appalling.

  • Essential listening

    I recently changed my working pattern to condensed hours, and now listen to this podcast on the day I’m being a stay at home dad. Specifically because it helps the day feel less lonely, and also gives me a lot to think about through the day.

    It’s easy to listen to, the guests are interesting, and it’s just a good uplifting hour every week.
