Talking to your kids about race. The UK is currently facing a shortage of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). What should you do if your normal supply of HRT tablets, skin patches or gels is unavailable? We hear from GP & menopause specialist Dr Hannah Short. Plus Jane Garvey visits Kitty's Launderette in Anfield which provides much needed washing facilities in one of Liverpool's most deprived areas. And we ask; Why have so called "bonkbuster" novels fallen out of favour with women - and look at what's taken their place. Presenter Jane Garvey Producer Beverley Purcell Guest; Freddie Harrel Guest; Dr Pragya Agarwal Guest; Lauren Milne Henderson Guest; Maisie Lawrence Guest; Sareeta Domingo
