Smear tests don’t always get the airtime they deserve — so we’re setting the record straight. This episode is everything you didn’t know you needed to know about cervical screening: from what actually happens during a smear test to what HPV is (and isn’t), why it matters, and how early changes can be spotted before cancer develops.

We walk through the process step-by-step, bust some myths, tackle the most common fears (yes, even that one), and explain how screening really can save lives. Whether it’s your first smear or your fifth, this is your go-to guide to demystifying the cervix.

Ovarian cancer is one of the most under-discussed, under-diagnosed gynaecological cancers—and it’s time we gave it proper airtime.

In this episode, we talk through the basics: what ovarian cancer is, the different types, and who it affects. We look at risks (including BRCA), common symptoms, and why it can be so hard to spot early. Plus, we touch on diagnosis, treatment options, and new approaches being explored.

A vital listen for anyone with ovaries—or anyone who loves someone with them.
