The Lads are joined on tour by Dr Viki Male, an Immunologist working on pregnancy at Imperial College, to discuss covid, vaccines, fertility and pregnancy. We really enjoyed recording this, Viki was a knowledgeable and fun guest, who is passionate about her field, and a thoughtful communicator.

If you have concerns about these things, this is the episode for you!

This is the first episode that wasn't recorded as a twitter space, so you can really feel the professionalism ramp up. Listen to find out if the lads discover where babies come from!
