Why are we still talking about Raygun?

The Olympics are over, but there is one athlete that despite falling short of a win - or of any points at all - the country is still talking about. It's Rachel Gun, or "Raygun". Why are we still talking about her? On this episode, Tarla Lambert-Patel shares her thoughts with Olivia Cleal.

This week also marked three years since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in August 2021. Tarla and Olivia share the latest from there.

We also share an interview with the CEO of Jean Hailes, Dr Sarah White. She is lined up to talk all things menopause at the Women’s Agenda Health Summit, coming up on September 4.
