All Talks Of Life: Recent Episodes
Emma
I love talking. I love to have in depth conversation with different people. And over the last few years I have become obsessed with podcasts. So combining those loves I had this crazy idea to start my own podcast.Months of work and a lot of help from my amazing friends and family, I am super excited to welcome everyone to All talks of life!!! It is a conversational podcast with different groups of my friends and families discussing a different topic each episode.
Emma is joined by the Founder of the online feminist book club Womens Writes, Sophie to discuss everything books, reading and book club. Including starting the book club, what books have been impactful and what it means to be a feminist. Loads of book recommendations with a heavy side of feminism.
