Adult ISH is a culture, advice and storytelling podcast produced entirely by folks who are almost adults.
In the latest episode of Adult ISH, hosts Nyge Turner and Dominique French take us on a journey through various abortion experiences, via submissions from listeners, in their own words. You’ll hear some stories read by people themselves, and others read by fellow YR Media colleagues volunteering their time and voices. Join us as we bring these stories of an incredibly common medical procedure to light.
If you or someone you know needs support, there are resources available. You can call the National Abortion Hotline for information, referrals and more at 1-800-772-9100. Check out the episode web page for more reproductive health resources.
If you are having thoughts of suicide, call or text 988 to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
Adult ISH is produced by YR Media and brought to you by PRX’s Radiotopia.
