Advice for Navigating Fertility and Growing Your Family

Please Advise: A Pop Up Show from WNYC | Oct 14

On today's episode of WNYC's new popup advice show, journalist and producer Nayeema Raza, host of the podcast "Smart Girl, Dumb Questions," leads a conversation about the tough odds, medical choices and emotional weight of fertility, pregnancy and other family planning considerations, with journalist Anne Sussman, author of the book Inconceivable: The Impossibility of Family in an Age of Uncertainty. Listeners call in with their questions and experiences around egg freezing, IVF and other elements of modern medicine that come into play around the decision to get pregnant.

Note: You are listening to the podcast version of a live radio show. The call-in number only works between 1 and 2 PM Eastern, while the show is live.
