Learnt so much!

I love this podcast! I’m the sort of person who has to go and Google things when I don’t know something, I just can’t leave it without knowing, and this podcast has answered so many questions I had on all these topics so far! 🤯 It’s so nice having such a comprehensive and interesting summary of the topics you cover. The period episodes were amazing! I learnt so much about menstruation and contraception which I had no idea about and I was shocked tbh because it’s something we should all learn in order to make informed decisions about how we take control of our bodies! Also made me angry that men still don’t have their own contraceptives 🙄 But all-round amazing podcast! I love it, please don’t stop! 😁
