In this episode, we discuss one of the UK’s hottest topics - the COVID-19 Vaccine. How do we feel about it? Do we want to take it?

November 27, 2020 A Man's Wandering Eye - is Evolution the Reason?
In this episode, we dig deep into the masculine brain. Joined by TJ, what started off as a discussion about online dating, turned into a very detailed analysis as to why he thinks men react the way they do in certain settings. While we didn't always agree with his views, perhaps there is some truth to his outlook. Are some men just afraid to be honest and do we as women just not like to hear the truth? We'll let you decide. Enjoy! Ni and Sim

In this episode, we question why miscarriage is still such a taboo subject. With 1 in 4 women experiencing miscarriage, surely conversations should be normalised. So why aren’t they?
