Richmond: Baby Expert Depot
We read newspaper articles about some of the first services for mothers and babies in Richmond. Penny's friends Jo Rosenberg and Vaya Pashos compare this to their own experiences of Maternal Child Health services.
Then proper oral historian, Carla Pascoe-Leahy, talks to Penny and Christina about how ideas around mothercraft have changed over the past 100 years.
This episode was recorded at the Richmond Library Makerspace. Thanks to Yarra Council for their support.
