There is a new podcast called Women in Labour where the name is a pun, since it's about female representation in the workforce — about how women actually aren't in labour. Comedian Aditi Mittal and filmmaker Christina MacGillivray spearhead it, and the format is such that they invite an expert on each episode to discuss one aspect of why the ratio of men to women workers is so skewed in this country. The first episode was launched last Sunday, on Women's Day. There are more shows lined up, and are expected to released every few days. In a telephonic interview, Mittal shares more on the subject.
