December 28, 2022 S2 Ep15: Ya know, like
It's that weird time between Christmas and New Year's when as midwives we're still living our best shiftworker life and everyone else around you are on holidays and spending their days drinking and eating cheese.
So in case you're bored and/or need a family break...stick your headphones on, take a walk and listen to us talk shit.

October 30, 2022 S2 Ep11 Maple: the ins and outs of sex work
Something a little different for you this week. We're chatting to Maple, Maple is a sex worker and is telling us all about her job. How she got into the sex industry, what her partner thinks of her job, coming to Australia, the move from porn to being a sugar baby to working in a brothel.
We had such a great chat with Maple - but we recorded this whilst Carly was in the NSW outback - and unfortunately the internet was pretty non-existent and this was all that could be salvaged......if you want to hear more from Maple - let us know and we'll get her back for another chat - and we promise to make sure we've got stable internet!!!!!!
