This is it, friends. 75+ guests, 89 episodes, and almost 40,000 downloads later -- Sssh! Periods is coming to an end. Join us for our last episode as we reminisce about the good, the bad, and the many, many times Luke has roasted Ms. Huq and her extensive collection of cardigans (that part may not have made it to the final cut, but trust that it was very much a part of the recording). Thank you for being our listeners and for stick...

TikTok got us talking about trans identities and whether or not trans women can get periods. Another blast from the past (and by the past we mean 2021, which at this point was 2 weeks ago).
