FTFO about Periods - supported by Bloody Good Period
Periods! No, don't switch off! They're interesting. And annoying. And mysterious. In this episode, the chat is all about 'that time of the month' - the science and the stigma. There is also a slightly surreal Q&A at the end, from menfolk who have questions and aren't afraid to ask them (and mask them with humour).
We're thrilled that this episode is supported by Bloody Good Period - a fantastic company who take donations and supply them to asylum seeker drop-in centres and food banks in London and the UK. They work to alleviate period poverty and open up the conversation around menstruation to all and bloody sundry!
