Hot flushes or hot topic? For centuries menopause has been shrouded in secrecy and shame. Now, Mariella Frostrup, joined by Gina Bellman is cracking the topic wide open! Expect fascinating facts, the horrible history, a dose of outrage and plenty of jokes along the way! This isn't a medical show. This is something far more radical: a collective reckoning with the extraordinary, infuriating and darkly hilarious history of menopause itself.
