Equal Agenda Series 4 Ep 2 – WAR, what IS it good for Equal Agenda Series 4 Ep 2 – WAR, what IS it good for WAR, What is it Good For? Despite popular belief, women have been caught up in war across history, from the world wars to more recent conflicts, while often being left out of the story. Romain and Immy look at how war has been packaged as a “man’s job,” from all‑male conscription to the way politics and armies are still seen as masculine spaces. And we unpack how, during wartime, women are pushed into roles like factory workers, caregivers, and emotional support systems for soldiers. It’s a lively, honest chat about the ways war has shaped women’s bodies, lives, and identities. Listen

The Sandwich Club Ep 4 - Friendship The Sandwich Club Ep 4 - Friendship Friendship looks different in midlife — and no one really talks about it. We explore how friendships change over time, the ones that last, the ones that fade, and the effort it now takes to stay connected.

If you’ve ever meant to text back… three weeks ago — this episode will feel very familiar. The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between. Listen
