from The Women's Agenda Podcast

This week, who gets excused and who gets judged!We look at the wins: A doctor turned patient, and a founder's AI women's health platform raises $4 million, and a World Cup that's been a genuine, underdog-loving joy. Then, we unpack Karl Stefanovic's platforming of the far-right extremist Tommy Robinson on his podcast and the fallout that ensued. Plus, we look at the French TV host who called footballer Jérémy Doku's plan to attend his baby's birth "disgusting", and why, from Virat Kohli to Cricket Australia's own paternity policy, we should be well past this. And we dig into the "brilliant leader" notion, following yet more investigations and headlines surrounding one of Australia's best-known founders.
