I am lucky enough to be joined today by OBGYN, NYT best selling author and content creator Dr Jen Gunter. 
 
Following recent discussions on the podcast about Lorde saying coming off the pill was the 'best drug' and an influx of anti-pill content online, I was feeling a little unsure if this was something I should still be taking. 
 
Dr Gunter answered all my questions - does it impact who we're attracted to? Do we need to be tracking period cycles? Can the pill alter our brains? Can it make us infertile if we're on it too long or bad at taking it? Do some pills make us 'crazier' than others? Is cycle tracking effective as contraception? Is anti-pill content right wing programming?

SMALL TALK: Should I Still Be On 'The Pill'? With Dr Jen Gunter

Big Small Talk: 5 PM Tuesdays 
So you want to know what’s happening in parliament, but you also want to know the latest in pop culture? Good, as you should.
From the front page to your newsfeeds, no story is too serious, stale, funny or frivolous. Because, if you haven’t realised, loving pop culture doesn’t mean you don’t understand politics.
Knowing all your shit? That’s hot. New Episodes 5pm Tuesday. 

Small Talk: 6 AM Thursdays 
It might not be tangible news but each week there’s something in the cultural zeitgeist that gets us all talking. We want to unpack these frivolous conversations, from new trends to relationship theories to life advice.
In an age of never-ending small talk, we want to examine how these collective thoughts affect the way we see the world. We may even reach out to a few friends and experts to weigh in. 

Big Talk: Wednesday 6 AM - Last Two Weeks of Every Month 
Over the past few decades, there have been news headlines so shocking that we still hear and feel their impact, such as Roe V Wade, Monica Lewinsky, Epstein, Mabo and Hillsong. 
Don’t you think it’s about time you knew all the important and salacious details about the real stories that have happened that shaped our world today? Come on, I know you’re curious.
