The Magdalene Laundries existed throughout Ireland up until the late 20th century. Women and young girls were sent to these institutions that were run by orders of nuns. They were told they could not leave, and were forced to work - all because they were perceived to be ‘fallen' and in need of salvation, fixing. It is a truly dark and complex history we are only now beginning to really peel back the layers on.To guide us today we have Dr. Louise Brangan of the LSE on the show. Her newest work is titled “The Fallen: The Lost Girls of Ireland's Magdalene Laundries and a Legacy of Silence.”This episode was edited by Anna Brant. Produced by Tomos Delargy and McKenna Fernandez.

When we think of the great witch trials of history, we usually picture innocent women accused of impossible crimes... but that wasn't always the case.In the frozen, windswept landscapes of 17th-century Iceland, a wave of witch trials led to the persecution and execution of men accused of practising dark magic.Why were male witches feared more than female ones? And what happens when ancient Norse magic, strict Lutheran beliefs, and one of Europe's most isolated landscapes collide?Edited by Anna Brant. Produced by Stuart Beckwith.

7 seasons. 750,000 downloads. 3 International Women's Podcast Award shortlistings. To mark the finale of Season 7, I've gone back through 7 years of conversations to bring you 7 of the clips that stopped me in my tracks - and believe me, it was no easy task to choose, because every single guest has been brilliant and they've brought such incredible expertise, inspiration and insight to this show. The topics I've chosen range from anxiety, sleep, hair and pelvic health to the invisibility syndrome, bone health and how your mindset can influence your health and wellbeing, plus a fascinating bonus extract exploring the history of women's health and attitudes to menopause across the centuries. This is a celebration of everything The Happy Menopause has stood for. And if any of these clips leave you wanting more, the full episodes are waiting for you in the back catalogue (and I've added links to the show notes), along with a whole lot more besides, covering pretty much every angle of perimenopause and menopause you can think of. Thank you for every single one of those downloads - this one's for you!Check out the full Show Notes for this episode on my website www.well-well-well.co.uk/podcast, where you'll find all the relevant links and references for each guest. Learn how to build your own menopause diet to manage your symptoms with my book The Happy Menopause: Smart Nutrition to Help You Flourish. And if you're tired of feeling tired and grappling with brain fog, check out  my new book: The Happy Menopause Guide to Energy; Nutrition to Rejuvenate Your Brain & Body. It's available in all the usual places.

Why did 200 people queue to give blood in the San Diego summer heat on 16 July 1983?During the AIDS crisis, many people living with HIV developed severe anaemia as a result of the disease and the treatments available at the time, leaving them dependent on regular blood transfusions. But where would the blood come from, especially with gay men being turned away from donating?In this episode, we're exploring one of the most inspiring examples of solidarity between lesbians and gay men in modern history: the Blood Sisters.This episode was edited by Tim Arstall.

Das Land bereitet sich so langsam auf die WM vor. Tipprunden werden ins Leben gerufen und Julian Nagelsmann nominiert seinen WM Kader. Nicht aber ohne für Überraschungen zu sorgen: Team Baywatch Berlin geht leer aus! Tja so können Träume platzen… Dann muss die deutsche Elf eben ohne Heufer-Umlauf, Schmitt und Lundt versuchen den Titel zu holen. Die drei reden sich den Frust von der Seele: Was kann Sané, was Klaas nicht kann? Der eine kickt die Pille, der andere weiß was man auf dem Flughafen WC besser lassen sollte. Denn auch dort gilt, wie beim Landeanflug: das Fahrwerk wird erst ausgeklappt, wenn der Flughafen unter einem ist und kein bisschen früher! Oder klarer formuliert: der Schniedel bleibt bis zum Pissior in der Buchse. Und auf diese Expertise will der Bundestrainer einfach so verzichten? So, wer nicht zur WM fährt, der hat Zeit. Zum Beispiel auch um den ESC zu gucken und zu bewerten. Wie gut war der Jahrgang 2026? Und es ging auch noch um DAS Eigentor der noch jungen Preisverleihungs-Saison. Tonmann Pfeife gewinnt zwar den Podcast Award für das beste Sound Design, zündet aber im selben Atemzug eine tödliche Gag-Gurke und das obwohl er zuvor 5 Jahre passiv Gags unterm Kopfhöher geraucht hat! Wie konnte das passieren? Pfeife muss sich verantworten. Nur eins steht fest: „Baywatch Berlin“ ist schlimmer blamiert als Olli Baumann. Danke für nichts Pfeife! Danke für nichts Nagelsmann!
