The Biggest Lie About Progesterone, with Dr Louise Newson

mercredi 7 octobre 2026 • Durée 37:26

Dr Louise Newson is back on the podcast, and this time we're talking about progesterone, the hormone most of us were told only matters for the womb.

It's made in the brain. Louise explains how it calms inflammation, helps brain cells repair and is one of the first hormones the body produces after a head injury or stroke. Yet if you've had a hysterectomy, you've probably been told you don't need it.

I asked Louise the questions you keep sending me, including a few I've lived myself (nearly 25 years on Depo-Provera, then a long battle to get my progesterone dose right).

In this episode

Why progesterone is far more than a womb hormone
How your cycle works, and why low progesterone can start in your teens
PMS and PMDD, and why Louise doesn't accept symptoms on any day of the month as normal
Progesterone versus synthetic progestogens: the mini pill, Depo-Provera and the Mirena coil
Bleeding on HRT, the cancer pathway, and why stopping your HRT isn't the only answer
Mood, bloating and anger on progesterone, and the 3 ways it can be taken
Why women in their 70s can still have cyclical symptoms
Medical misogyny, Katharina Dalton, and Louise's outstanding CQC rating
The 4 things Louise would ask the government to do for women's health right now

Is Britain Losing Its Culture? Ada Akpala on Multiculturalism, DEI and Speaking Freely

Saison 2 · Épisode 18

lundi 31 août 2026 • Durée 31:14

In this episode, Penny is joined by writer, broadcaster and commentator Ada Akpala for a fearless conversation about British culture, multiculturalism, integration and identity.

Having moved to Britain from Nigeria as a child, Ada brings the perspective of both an immigrant and an astute observer of British life. She argues that Britain is increasingly becoming a country of parallel societies, with different communities living by different cultural expectations. The question is not whether people of different ethnicities can live together. It is whether a society can thrive without a shared culture, common standards and a sense of national belonging.

Penny and Ada also explore DEI, positive discrimination and the danger of treating people as identity groups rather than individuals. They ask whether class and socioeconomic disadvantage have been pushed aside in favour of skin-deep diversity, and whether equality of opportunity has been confused with equality of outcome.

The conversation moves into free speech, the backlash faced by women who challenge fashionable orthodoxies, and Ada's refreshingly simple explanation of why criticism does not frighten her.

They discuss:
What British culture actually means
The difference between a multi-ethnic society and multiculturalism
Integration, ghettoisation and parallel communities
Why a shared culture matters for social cohesion
DEI, quotas and the loss of individuality
Why class belongs at the centre of the equality debate
Merit, opportunity and cultural fit
The demonisation of straight white men and the bullying of women
How to challenge ideas without being consumed by the culture war
Finding a community that gives you the courage to speak

Ada Akpala creates conversations about Britain, politics and culture. Find her work on YouTube at @adaakpala, on Instagram and X at @ada_akpala.

One Year On From the Supreme Court Ruling, Free Speech and Women's Rights – with Baroness Claire Fox

Saison 2 · Épisode 17

dimanche 5 avril 2026 • Durée 01:06:17

One year after the Supreme Court ruling on sex and single sex spaces, Penny Dee is joined by Baroness Claire Fox for a timely and wide ranging conversation about what has happened since, and what has not.

Together they look at the gap between legal clarity and real world implementation, asking why so many institutions still appear reluctant to act. From the Girl Guides and the Darlington nurses to free speech, public sector culture, rushed legislation, and the politics of fear, this episode examines what happens when common sense collides with institutional self protection.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ Why Claire Fox says the Supreme Court ruling was a clarification of the law, not a new law.
✔️ How delayed guidance has allowed some organisations to avoid implementing obvious changes.
✔️ Why public sector bodies have found it harder to reverse course after years of ideological training and policy capture.
✔️ How free speech has been chilled by fear, reputational risk, and the threat of punishment.
✔️ Why rushed lawmaking and weak scrutiny are becoming a much bigger democratic problem.

PLUS, We Discuss:
💡 The Girl Guides and the safeguarding implications of admitting boys into girls' spaces.
💡 The Darlington nurses case and the simplicity at the heart of the conflict.
💡 The IOC decision and why it matters for women's sport.

The Manosphere, Lost Boys and Counterfeit Masculinity – with Ragini Prasad

Saison 2 · Épisode 16

samedi 28 mars 2026 • Durée 45:04

Louis Theroux's Inside the Manosphere has put this whole subject back into the spotlight, but many women I spoke to said they simply could not face watching it. So this episode does the work for you and gives you the lowdown in a more thoughtful, intelligent way. We also get into a deeper question many women are now asking: if a society cannot even define what a woman is, what hope is there for any honest conversation about men, women, boundaries, or reality?

In this thought provoking episode of Penny Dee Podcast, Penny is joined by Ragini Prasad for a sharp, intelligent conversation about Louis Theroux's documentary, the wider rise of Red Pill culture, and what may really be sitting underneath the current crisis around men, women, identity, and modern confusion.

Rather than doing another surface level pile on about bad men online, Penny and Ragini explore the deeper questions. Why are so many boys and young men feeling lost? Why has the manosphere become such a loaded term? Why do words like misogyny, bigot, homophobic, and masculinity itself seem to have become blurred, unstable, and overused? And why do both men and women increasingly seem trapped in performed, market driven versions of themselves?

This is a conversation about lost boys, counterfeit masculinity, counterfeit femininity, women's boundaries, male pain, language, social media, family breakdown, and what a more mature and grounded future could look like.

What You'll Hear in This Episode

00:00 Why the manosphere may be a symptom, not the real problem
02:37 Where boys are supposed to find strong male role models
04:04 Louis Theroux, Red Pill culture, and the grain of truth in the nonsense
07:38 Why words like homophobia and misogyny no longer seem to mean what they should
09:13 Fatherless homes, family breakdown, and the cost to boys
10:19 Were women sold a lie about having it all?
16:00 Love, control, and the fear behind some modern masculinity
18:09 Why Ragini calls it the boyosphere, not the manosphere
22:00 Women, language, sex reality, and the collapse of meaning 29:17 Andrew Tate, deplatforming, and whether demonising these men makes them stronger 32:00 Social media, attention, and how we raise more grounded children 36:17 Marriage, endurance, and what real relationships actually teach us 39:32 Hope, honesty, and what a saner future could look like 43:42 Where to find Ragini and follow more of her work

The Darlington Nurses on Single Sex Spaces, Safeguarding and Speaking Up

Saison 2 · Épisode 16

dimanche 22 mars 2026 • Durée 36:37

In this powerful episode of Penny Dee Podcast, Penny is joined by Bethany Hutchison and Lisa Lockey, two of the Darlington nurses at the centre of a major NHS changing room case. They share how the situation began, why women raised concerns, and what happened when those concerns were not properly heard. The conversation goes beyond the headlines into dignity, boundaries, confidence, and the emotional cost of speaking up as women.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ How the Darlington nurses case began and why safeguarding concerns were raised.
✔️ Why the issue became about dignity, privacy, and respect for women at work.
✔️ What it felt like when the women say their concerns were dismissed rather than addressed.
✔️ How Christian Legal Centre became involved and supported the nurses.
✔️ Why Lisa says Unison failed to support her when she needed help.

✔️ And why did the NHS spend £604,000 defending their unlawful position?

PLUS, We Discuss:
💡 The impact this had on confidence, peace of mind, and speaking up under pressure.
💡 Why separate spaces would have been the obvious and respectful solution.
💡 The launch of the Darlington Nursing Union and the message Bethany and Lisa want to give other women now.

Women, AI and the Future of Power | Can Women Disagree Without Division?

Saison 2 · Épisode 15

samedi 28 février 2026 • Durée 01:14:46

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the future of work, leadership and economic power. The question is whether women are shaping it too.

In this episode of the Penny Dee Podcast, I sit down with Dr Giselle Goodwin for a serious, respectful and thought provoking conversation about women and AI.

We come from different political perspectives.
We are genuinely curious about why we see the world differently.

Because the bigger issue is not left versus right.

It is whether women are prepared for the next economic shift.

We explore:

• Why women are adopting AI at lower rates
• Whether bias is embedded in algorithms and recruitment systems
• The redesign of work in the knowledge economy
• Emotional labour in an automated world
• Leadership, empathy and the corruption of power
• Confidence gaps, internalised misogyny and tall poppy syndrome
• Whether women should reform the table or build their own

This is not a debate for points.
It is a serious conversation about women's influence in the AI era.

If you care about women's independence, economic strength, leadership, modern feminism, and the future of work, this episode matters.

The future is being built in real time.

Are women shaping it?

QUOTE OF THE EPISODE

"Are we shaping the future, or watching it happen?"

Football, Free Speech, Without Fear or Favour with Linzi Smith

Saison 2 · Épisode 14

dimanche 23 novembre 2025 • Durée 42:15

This episode brings the extraordinary story of an ordinary woman to a new audience. Newcastle United fan Linzi Smith was banned from her football club and questioned under caution under the Malicious Communications Act for holding a lawful gender critical belief. There was no victim. No harm. And the complaint was made on behalf of someone who might be offended. Today her ban has been lifted and she tells the full story.
We also explore Linzi's separate High Court victory against Northumbria Police after she challenged their decision to march in full uniform at Newcastle Pride. The court ruled the Chief Constable acted unlawfully and breached the duty of impartiality.
This episode examines free speech, reality, courage and the importance of policing without fear or favour.

What You Will Learn in This Episode:
How a simple reality based belief led to a club ban
Why the police interviewed her under caution despite no victim
The role of Fair Cop in helping her challenge the process
How the complaint was made on behalf of a hypothetical person
The key steps that led to Newcastle United lifting the ban

Plus, We Discuss:
Linzi's High Court case against Northumbria Police and why the ruling matters
The rise of non crime hate incidents and what this means for free speech
BBC bias concerns and the wider culture around gender identity
Why offence is not evidence and cannot be treated as a crime

Quote of the Episode:
"Offence is not harm. Offence is not a crime. And no woman should be questioned under caution for a belief rooted in reality."
