Does that match up with the reality of what you know of these two doctors?

I have absolutely clocked some misogyny in the media coverage, and certainly in the comments, about both doctors.

Their supposed arrogance, their unwillingness to be challenged, even their hand gestures and facial expressions are presented as evidence that they're too powerful.

And it's not a huge leap to say that people frequently bristle at certain qualities in women that we might admire in men.

I love audiobooks for the same reason I love podcasts.

They can go everywhere with me, the car, the garden, on a walk.

And with The Mother Next Door, I got to bring all my worlds together as I narrate one of my own books for the very first time.

You can find The Mother Next Door wherever you get audiobooks.

Here's a snippet.

When the nurse who was administering the test briefly left the room, Hope turned to Amy and asked if she could take her daughter to the bathroom so that Sophia could have a meltdown.

It was bizarre.

Amy explained to Hope that she could not allow her to be alone with Sophia.

A short time later, the results of the sweat test came back.

Negative.

Sophia didn't have cystic fibrosis.

For almost any parent in the world, the news that their child didn't have a terminal illness would have brought tears of relief.

But upon hearing the test results, Hope broke down in tears for a very different reason.

She'd been caught.

Are you thinking about starting a podcast?

I hope that you are and here's why.
