How much should your menstrual cycle shape the way you exercise?
This episode explores whether exercise should change across the four phases of the menstrual cycle. Rhiannon and Mikey look at both the biology and the social side, from gym taboos to whether personal trainer education takes menstruation seriously.
An eclectic episode 30 detour through podcasts, books, whales, politics, and orcas
Rhiannon and her partner Clare mark episode 30 with a looser conversation about the things they’ve been listening to, reading, and watching lately. Expect an eclectic mix of whale songs, Radiolab favorites, books, film chat, politics, and a memorable orca story.
A musician’s journey from classical roots to folk, travel, and connection
Music is the focus here as Clare reflects on growing up in a highly musical household, training classically, and later falling in love with folk traditions. The conversation explores how music shaped her life, took her around the world, and helped her connect with people.
How tattoos and festivals became a path to body confidence
Tattoos, body image, and music festivals are at the center of this conversation with Nora. She talks about how getting tattooed helped her love her body and how festivals became a way to reclaim fun after years of denying herself that freedom.
Why even native speakers need subtitles for movies now
This episode explores why films can be hard to understand, even for native English speakers. Rhiannon is joined by Cara Leopold to talk about movie listening, fast-spoken English, and how film-based practice can help learners build real conversational skills.
