Child Labour with Stuart Goldsmith and Sindhu Vee

Falling pregnant with a guy she’d only known for a matter of weeks, comic and writer Athena is now a fiercely proud and resilient mother. We talk about the matriarchal line of her own family; from her mum’s less-than-perfect role as her birth partner, to the societal flaws Athena feels she can now challenge in how she raises her daughter. We would love to hear from you, so tweet us! Sindhu @SindhuVFunny or Stuart @ComComPod, and include #ChildLabourPod, about anything we’ve discussed in this episode or on any of the podcasts so far!
