Just like that... - a podcast by Nik Kendrew

This week, Nik is joined by Dr Ben Lovell- twitter legend, an associate professor of medical education and a consultant in acute internal medicine at UCLH, where he is also the postgraduate lead for acute medicine.  
They discuss the reboot of "Sex And The City", HBO series "And Just Like That..."
The conversation covers how even supportive parents and families can stumble as part of the journey of gender expression and identity of their loved one. They talk about pronouns, starting a brand new chapter later in life, television drama shorthand, and an infamous final scene on an exercise bike!
All that , plus the usual look at the medical news headlines and the week in daytime TV.
