Summary
Hello! In recent months, many working parents have had to juggle looking after kids at home with their usual jobs. Research shows this has had a disproportionate impact on working mothers. We talk to researcher Christine Berry and Lucie Stephens from the New Economics Foundation about our reliance on childcare, the crisis now facing the sector, and how to ensure it is truly valued in the coronavirus recovery. Then Mary-Ann Stephenson from the Women’s Budget group discusses the broader economic impact of the last few months on women.
Plus singer-songwriter turned CBeebies star Nick Cope is here to talk about his Popcast!

| 0:00.0 | This episode is brought to you by Tautas, the slow newsroom. I am such a fan. I was saying a |
| 0:06.0 | while ago that I do worry that the news has become too much like a Netflix drama. Like stories are |
| 0:13.2 | treated like plot lines that have to include twists and cliffhangers over the course of a week or so |
| 0:18.3 | and then there's a dramatic season finale and you move on to the next one. And Tautas is the |
| 0:24.2 | antithesis of that and I love it. It's so much wiser and more considered and you can feel that |
| 0:30.0 | approach baked into all their investigations and campaigns and commentary. And as a Tautas member |
| 0:35.4 | you get more daily news letter, early and ad free podcasts like the Slow Newscast, London grad, |
| 0:41.7 | which is excellent. Definitely recommend that if you enjoyed our recent episode on Clepter Crats |
| 0:46.4 | and Dirty Money. And you'll also get tickets to their exclusive events. I'm just looking at who |
| 0:51.8 | they've had on and they've had some big names, Catlin Moran, I way way. Oh they must have had |
| 0:58.3 | a last minute dropout. I can see Ed Miliband's name on there. Listen, Tautas is such a great endeavour |
| 1:04.0 | and it just feels good to support this type of journalism, this approach and they have put together |
| 1:09.8 | an offer for you. 60 pounds for the whole year. That's for you as a listener to our podcast. I've |
| 1:15.2 | got a special link for you. So slow down. Wise up with Tautas membership for just 60 pounds a year. |
| 1:21.6 | Go to Tautasmedia.com forward slash cheerful for this exclusive offer. |
| 1:35.4 | This is reasons to be cheerful with Ed Miliband and Jeff Lloyd. Hello. Hello. So you are still |
| 1:42.3 | speaking to me then. What's that? Well I'm going to let the listeners into a little something |
| 1:47.4 | that happened. Ed, last weekend, decided to cook a black bean soup. I did and it was that |
| 1:55.2 | last day morning last weekend. And you sent me a photograph of it. You're quite proud. |
| 2:00.7 | I don't think I was very nice about the photograph. I think you were at the top end of reactions |
| 2:05.8 | to the black bean soup in truth. I said it looked like a ditch after a storm. Can I tell you the |
| 2:13.3 | story? I mean, this bloody black bean soup. So I bought the black beans more than a year ago. |
