Women and the Pandemic - Episode 13

Billy, Ellie, Lauren, and Tara are back. After a short break, the girls are reunited and discussing the impact of the pandemic on women. We talk about pregnant women, self-employed mothers, home-schooling mothers, the vaccine, the public sector, and this dodgy government ad.
