Hi Anthems listeners, here's a podcast we think you'll love; it's called Zombiemum. When writer and illustrator Laura Dockrill first became a mum, the experience was life changing - but not in the way she was expecting. She woke up on her first Mother’s Day in a psychiatric ward, without a clue where she was, separated from her newborn, with a diagnosis of postpartum psychosis. Since her experience, she’s been on a mission to uncover the psychological effects of bringing a small person into this world and smash the stigmas associated with them. Each week Laura will be talking to guests from a range of different backgrounds and disciplines all with their own unique experience for some heart-breaking, heart warming, gut wrenching, generous, reassuring real talk. #Zombiemum Learn more about your ad choices.

Hi Anthems listeners, here's a podcast we think you'll love; it's called Broccoli Book Club. Hosted by multimedia journalist Diyora Shadijanova. Broccoli Book Club is a ‘real book club’ but within a podcast format. Listeners can follow along month by month where we'll be discussing literature which pushes for inquisitive and forward thinking minds to familiarise themselves with topics they don't usually learn about. The podcast is split in two parts - part one is a group discussion of the book of the month with host Diyora, a member of the Broccoli Team and an esteemed book reader. Part two is an interview with the celebrated author of the book of the month. Why not kick off that reading habit you've always wanted to.
