February 22: On mental, menstrual and maternal health

This week on The Download, FW’s Head of Government Relations Alex Grant joins co-host Tarang Chawla for her first stint in the hot-seat in 2023.

The pair discuss developments towards more diverse representation within the neurodivergent community, how the way we do news is contributing to a national mental health crisis, and what Spain’s recent introduction of paid menstrual leave could mean for the rest of the world.

Later, writer, editor and academic Natalie Kon-yu lends her insight to a discussion about how the politics of pregnancy and parenting affect our lives.
