- Inverroche & Global Child Health
How much do you know about Child Health?
Personally, we don’t know a lot… and even less when we look at our question of the week, ‘how does child health differ around the world, and how has covid impacted on this?’
Luckily our guest, Debra J Jackson, a professor and Takeda Chair of global health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical medicine, knows a lot about it
Cheers!

All whilst we drink some Ironbark Wattleseed Gin from Australia.
Cheers!

17 min - 14 Gins & Series 2 Bin
Surprise!
We thought you might be missing us. So, as a special treat, we got you… some bits from the bin. Don’t say we don’t treat you.
Series two had so many gins, and so many conversations, that we didn’t always get to include everything we wanted in each episode. So here are some of the bits we had to leave out.
Cheers!

About Gin and Topic
From the publisher's feed
Our ever-curious step-mother and step-daughter, Sarah and Áine, begin each episode with a glass of gin in hand, before launching into the topic of the week. Once the gin has been thoroughly sampled,…
and reviewed, they discuss what they already know about the weekly topic. It could be anything, from science to art, from political to cultural. Most importantly, they often don’t know a lot. Luckily, there is a weekly expert who shares their knowledge… and the gin. The guest may be plagued with ‘Okay, but why?’s, and ‘So, how?’s, but they get to drink through it! And, if this expert can tell our hosts that everything they thought they knew is wrong, even better. There’s no confrontation, just a genuine wish to learn and understand, and at the end of the show, the hosts spend a little time mulling over what they’ve learnt, and wondering how they can slip it into conversations to look smart.
