Summary

Journalist India Rakusen is about to launch an ambitious new project for Radio 4/BBC Sounds, so Hannah leapt at the chance to chat to her about it. The 27-part series (wow), Child, starts from when a sperm meets an egg, and then follows the mother and her pregnancy, through to birth and the first year of a child's life. India and Hannah chat about why we should all be interested, even if we've no intention of having children ourselves, about the science and the politics of this early stage of human development, and about how babies aren't just big lumps who cry and shit themselves. Who knew? * Child starts on Radio 4 on Friday, 12 January, at 2.45pm. It will also be available on BBC Sounds. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.
