Dr Nighat Arif is an NHS & private GP with a specialist interest in women’s health and you’ve probably seen her on television on BBC Breakfast and also heard her on BBC Radio. 

In this episode we began discussing the experience of menopause in ethnic minority communities and Nighat’s work in that area. Menopause is regarded with indifference often and not well understood, especially in ethnic minority groups where there is often a lack of willingness to discuss gynaecological issues. Lots of support and information resources below.

We also discussed organ donation specifically in regard to ethnic minority groups & why these groups are likely to wait much longer on the waiting list for an organ than their white counterparts will. Nighat shared her personal experience of this.

Becoming sober or at least sober-curious is something that seems to be on the lips of many mid-lifers. From our late 40s we just can’t drink like we used to, we’re suddenly suffering from ‘hangxiety’, we’re noticing health niggles. It’s probably a time when we should all become more mindful about our boozing.

Dave Wilson decided at 55 to ‘go sober’ in January 2019. He created an Instagram account - @soberdave. He quickly found himself part of an incredible online community. Dave has documented his sober journey throughout 2019 in the most open and honest way. He’s adored by his followers because of this and for his generosity with his time and support for others.

Episode 20: With Laura Dodsworth, photographer, storyteller.

Author of Bare Reality, Manhood and Womanhood.

100 Vaginas (Channel 4)

What possesses a woman to take pictures of 100 boobs, 100 penises and 100 vulvas? (not all at the same time to be clear)... Listen to this wonderful episode to find out and hear about the process and the profound learning that took place for Laura along the way.

All of Laura's books and the Channel 4 documentary include personal and significant interviews with those photographed. The books break down physical taboos via the photos taken showing the spectrum of normality, and also overturning social and emotional taboos with the conversations she has with the people she photographs.
