Menopodcast
Dubbed ‘two friends chatting about the change’, pals Sarah Auerswald and Julia Frey chew the fat over the latest things they’ve heard, seen or learnt about the menopause.
In the first four seasons, they chose a book about the subject and discussed a chapter per episode, rounding off the cast with a hilarious segment called ‘How Hot Was Your Flash?’. In more recent episodes, they’ve taken the approach of deep diving into specific topics. All seven seasons are worth a listen, and the chatty half-hour episodes are perfect background noise for cooking or pottering around the house.
