• Who Cares? w/ Emily Kenway

  Our first guest hosted episode of the summer comes from Emily Kenway, former carer, doctoral researcher and author of 'Who Cares: The Hidden Crisis of Caregiving And How We Solve It', Today she is reading an abridged excerpt from her book which explores why conventional assumptions about solving the so-called ‘care crisis’ are founded on deep misunderstandings. She invites you to rethink your assumptions around care - what kind of care counts, the solutions which are appropriate and how it is organised.For exclusive content - including our new chat show, The Curve, and Macrodose’s monthly newsletter, The Fix - visit: https://www.patreon.com/macrodose.
