In our tenth episode we get into mothers and motherhood! We explore our own feelings about having children with a very big disclaimer that as two non-mothers who aren’t planning on having children any time soon, our perspectives are of course, limited.

We look at how mothers and motherhood is represented in books including The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson, A Life's Work by Rachel Cusk, Blue Ticket by Sophie Mackintosh, An Excellent Choice by Emma Brockes and The Mothers by Brit Bennett.

We delve into the charmed mother daughter relationships in Netflix’s The Duchess and our fave show Gilmore Girls, as well as NOW TV’s dark new show The Baby, which looks at women forced into motherhood.

Plus as always, we answer listener questions and give our latest recommendations. If you liked the podcast don't forget to share, rate and review - it helps the podcast reach more people!
