Why do you do the things you do? Hosted by American musician and writer, Dessa, Deeply Human investigates the human experience with rigor, humor, intimate stories, and the occasional spit take.

Deeply Human: Menopause

Menopause

BBC World Service - Deeply Human, Menopause

Why do both whales and women go through it?

If you think you’re too young to learn about the menopause, you’re wrong. Prepare to be both surprised and entertained - and maybe even rendered a kinder son or daughter.
 
Our understanding of menopause has changed dramatically, and it’s our kindly cousins, the whales that may help explain what it’s for. And Dessa has a heart-to-heart with her dad about her grandmother, exploring the parts of our lives we should share more - generation to generation.
