Talking to your kids about race, HRT shortages, and the demise of the bonkbuster novel

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Talking to your kids about race, HRT shortages, and the demise of the bonkbuster novel

Talking to your kids about race, HRT shortages, and the demise of the bonkbuster novel.

Talking to your kids about race. HRT shortages. We visit a community launderette in Anfield and find out why the bonkbuster novel has gone out of fashion.

Talking to your kids about race.  

The UK is currently facing a shortage of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).   What should you do if your normal supply of HRT tablets, skin patches or gels is unavailable? We hear from GP & menopause specialist Dr Hannah Short.

Plus Jane  Garvey visits Kitty's Launderette in Anfield which provides much needed washing facilities in one of Liverpool's most deprived areas.   
 
And we ask; Why have so called "bonkbuster" novels fallen out of favour with women -  and look at what's taken their place.
