Periods and Politics - 16

Host Erin Whitehead invites Kate Clancy, a scientist who studies menstruation and host of the Period Podcast, to the show to discuss lady business, how we talk to our kids about sex, pregnancy and, yes, politics. We are talking periods… and we don't mean grammar!  How does Erin's uterus compare to a 35 year old unemployed kid who moves home? Is your garbage man listening to the Period Podcast on his route? (Spoiler: possibly!) How are women's health and politics meshing, or not meshing these days? Can we finally let go of that Mommy guilt? How do you act cool when your kid asks about your sex life? Who knew there was so much to talk about surrounding our periods?! We also share a great review from Matt at Vocalogical, and Erin's podcast recommendation for this week is The Dirty Bits Podcast! You can listen to the Period Podcast on iTunes, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
