iHeart's Rage Against the Menopause podcast returns for season two
Rage Against the Menopause, the podcast hosted by Patrina Jones, known as 'Pats' from The Christian O'Connell Show, has launched its second season. The podcast, published by ARN and iHeart, aims to address the stigma surrounding menopause and provide a supportive community for women navigating this stage of life.
Season Two of Rage Against the Menopause will delve into a variety of topics including perimenopause, menopause, motherhood, endometriosis, and the challenges of balancing a high-profile career. The podcast seeks to offer a platform for open discussion and to provide insights and support for women experiencing these issues.
The first episode of the new season features radio journalist and podcaster Sarah Patterson. Future episodes will include a diverse range of guests such as singer Kate Ceberano, politician Larissa Waters, media personality Brigitte Duclos, lifestyle expert Chyka Keebaugh, and medical professionals Mitch Little, Dr. Sonia Davidson, and Dr. Brad Robinson.
"I am so thrilled to be launching this next season of Rage Against the Menopause. I go there - it will be just as raw, honest, informative and entertaining and will include tips for men - from other guys - on how to help support women, after a massive response from blokes around the world to my debut series," said Jones.
The podcast is available on the iHeart app and other podcast platforms, with new episodes released every Thursday. The series aims to engage both women and men in conversations about menopause, encouraging a broader understanding and support network.
"To have people come up to me in the street and say things like 'Your podcast has been a lifesaver, thank you' has been utterly overwhelming. Perimenopause and menopause will impact 1.2 billion women globally by 2030 and they don’t feel heard. My podcast is building a community and letting women know they’re not alone BUT it’s the response from men that has really taken me by surprise. Everyone has a role to play in helping break the stigma," said Jones.
