Care and Feeding | Slate's parenting show - Introducing CRAMPED: "Sex Ed with DB: Testosterone, Pleasure, and the Libido Myth"

Dela

Hosted by Kate Helen Downey, CRAMPED is an investigative deep dive, exploring what the research actually says about menstrual pain and reproductive health, and the gap between what science knows and what options are given to patients. New episodes cover everything from pelvic floor PT to period poops, AI diagnoses to the history of women's health care. In this episode, Kate thinks about her own "abysmal menstrual health education" and wonders if it has gotten any better. Are there more resources and support out there for a young cramper? She speaks with Kat Samedova, who recently graduated from Kingston High School and is the former vice president of the Period Power! Club there.


Period pain has been undertreated, understudied, and underfunded for decades. CRAMPED is here to ask why. If you—or your child–have ever been told your excruciating cramps were "normal", this podcast is for you.
