Hello everyone and welcome to talk nerdy. Today is Monday, June 11th and I'm your host

Kara Santa Maria and this week we have a wonderful chat with a writer named Angela Garbes who

wrote a great book called Like a Mother, a feminist journey through the science and culture of pregnancy.

I cannot believe that this is, I think, in four years the first time we've talked about

this topic.

What?

Anyway, before we dive into it, I do want to thank those of you who have made

talk nerdy possible. Remember, it is and will always be 100% free to download. And the way that I can

keep that going through all of the work that I do along with the

editors that the incredible editors that work on the show along with my

assistant is through the support of listeners Lickeners mmm okay

listeners like yourself. So, you know, I think that the easiest way to

support the show is through Patreon. It's W.W.

Patreon.com slash TalkNurdy. Read about it. It's really cool because you can support W.
