Two Women Chat is a series of podcasts made by two good friends, Alison Archer and Sally Thompson. Each week they pick over interesting issues and subjects, with a bit of research and a nice cup of tea thrown in.

Sally and I try to understand more about the menopause, discovering that we start with 7 million eggs and end up with flat feet (potentially) - all as a result of this life-changing process that is happening to our bodies.
