    Gossip Isn't Just Women's Business

    Gossip Isn't Just Women's Business

    A little bit gossip never hurt anybody… or so we tell ourselves.

    What we know gossip to be now, is very different from how it once was.

    From its old timey use during childbirth, to the more modern day concept of swapping secrets, and even its application as a tool for women’s safety, gossip has been through many, many phases.

    So how do we feel about gossip in 2024?

    A Review Of Uber Teen From A Child Safety Expert

    A Review Of Uber Teen From A Child Safety Expert

    Whether it be after a night out, or after we’ve dropped the car off for a service, most of us have booked a lift from a stranger through an app like Uber or Didi.

    But what about letting our kids ride solo in an Uber? The ride share company has just announced it’ll start allowing teens to book a trip alone in select cities across the country.

    Should parents be worried about their safety? Or relieved they won’t need to ferry them from activity to activity. We ask a child safety expert all about it.

Top Show Thought Provoking!

I listen to this show everyday. It’s an invaluable part of my morning routine. I love how the topics are varied and have original thoughts. I really like when they go into further detail on a news story that I haven’t wrapped my head around.

Ok but not great

It’s great to have female driven news but I find there’s no intersectionality, no indigenous affairs and way way too much about the royals. There’s a limp acknowledgement of country at the start with no mention of who’s country they are on. They certainly could do better

carrieboosh ,

Laughable

It’s like reading New Idea to get ‘the news’. Ignorant, white centric, privileged lens. This media organisation keeps cis white women in their superficial, comfortable place so that no change happens. Especially for minorities. Embarrassing. Would be embarrassing to work at this tabloid company.
