Gossip Isn't Just Women's Business - It ...

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

A little bit gossip never hurt anybody… or so we tell ourselves.

From its old timey use during childbirth, to the more modern day concept of swapping secrets, and even its application as a tool for women’s safety, gossip has been through many, many phases.
