    Homo in the birth room

    We're calling this episode 'Homo in the birth room,' and we're very pleased to have an interview with the great Michel Odent (unfortunately on a rather patchy line). Karen is down with a cold, but Mark is upbeat enough for both of them.

    Pelvic Health

    Mark and Karen awake from post-festivities slumber to record the first episode of the 2020s, in which there are many and varied digressions, so it seems that nothing much has changed.

    IVF and Surrogacy

    This is one of those lovely episodes where Mark and Karen get along harmoniously throughout (at least in the final edit!).
