The Mother's Voice Podcast
Hello podcast listeners, It's Marion here ...
This is just a short note to say that the Mother's voice will be taking a short break whilst we record and edit more interviews.
If you like what we've made so far please let us know, we'd love to hear from you! And please feel free to share these episodes with anyone you think might appreciate them as it really helps the podcast grow.
Hopefully we'll be back in a couple of months with more tales of motherhood from around the world.
So from everyone at the mothers voice podcast team - bye for now.
