Rhiannon and Alex begin this episode by eating their words and swapping a couple of TV recommendations for retractions (such grown ups). Alex has been absorbed in the moving world of Opera, thanks to Dorset’s Opera Festival, with stunning set design from her husband Rufus. Things turn medical as Rhiannon has been hooked and horrified by the second season of hit podcast The Retrievals, which leads to a discussion on the gender gap in healthcare, complimented by recommendations of Unwell Women and Unheard from Alex.
