Hellooo lovely people of MOS. We’re recording from home again this week, but we promise we’ll be back to regular programming next time! This one’s a bit of a heavy conversation: we talk about the recent cases of assault against women and the fear, anger and exhaustion they’ve left us feeling. Once again, we’re asking: when will women be able to step out of their homes and feel safe? Will we see that happen in our lifetime?
