Emma Barnett: why talk about periods?

The 成人快手 broadcaster on the weird taboo about menstrual cycles.

Emma Barnett鈥檚 becoming one of the most respected broadcasters in the country. She presents for 5 Live and Newsnight, and can make her interviewees - often politicians - feel very awkward just by asking them simple questions they stumble around trying to answer. Emma got in touch to ask us if we wanted to talk to her about periods, because she鈥檚 just written a book about them. And we said 鈥測es please鈥.
