In this bonus episode, Louise launches her 'Send This To...' series, where she speaks with Neil, a sperm donor and her biological father, about his motivations for donating in the 80s and 90s, and his experience of no longer being anonymous.

As the title suggests, the idea is to ‘send this to’ anyone it could be relevant for.

Welcome to our first episode, ‘Send This To... A Donor’.

Donor conceived journalist Louise McLoughlin is back with Season 2 of her chart-topping podcast.

In this episode, Louise catches up with some of the people from Season 1, and explores how we can take our own experiences of being donor conceived and use them to influence change. 

As Louise speaks to activists going down both new and traditional routes she asks, 'how do we make a difference in our own families, in the minds of strangers, or in our legal system?'
