Must Listen

This is such a special podcast - so personal and compelling. Amazing way to humanise history and shine a light on the people in history who have often been overlooked

A snapshot into women’s lives

What a fantastic concept. I really enjoy listening to these short sharp audios. Such a variety of stories - funny, sad, inspirational. Worth a listen.

Love this collection of stories

This is such a great collection of stories, all told by women in their own voices, some thoughtful, some funny, some heart-breaking, all unique. A treasure trove of different writers and their voices to discover. And at 3-5 minutes just the right length to listen to in a lunch break or when you just have a couple of minutes' time. Really glad to have found this.
