About this listen

Things You Can't Talk About On TV discusses embarrassing medical issues... in detail. Intimate, hilarious, descriptive yet completely factual detail.

GP Dr Ginni Mansberg and over-sharing journalist Shelly Horton want to remove the shame and secrecy around taboo health topics. They discuss the health questions you just don't want clogging up your internet search history, and use the latest medical research and expert knowledge to get you the answers. Even when they're not the answers you want.

From farts to strange smells, curious discharges to weird sex questions, Dr Ginni Mansberg and Shelly Horton discuss medical issues that would make a middle-aged male breakfast TV host blush.

The following podcast is rated F for frank, funky, and factual. It is not for the faint-hearted. We suggest you don't play this with kids in the car unless you're ready for some really awkward conversations.

This is an Audible Original Podcast. Free for members. You can download all 8 episodes to your Library now.

Fabulous!

I laughed out loud during every episode. Shelly and Ginny are hilarious. They have such a great rapport. They taught me more about farts and other embarrassing bodily functions than I ever thought I needed to know. Bring on season 2!

Funny and interesting

Omg really enjoyed the Travel episode how can something be so funny and interesting at the same time.

With each episode a different subject this series really is ideal.

These two keep it honest and real
Love it

Funny, interesting and smart!!!

This is SO SO good! I laughed till I cried and also learnt a hell of a lot too! Shelly and Ginni are a perfect combo and love all the other people and experts that get brought in to speak too, and the real stories and examples, it's so witty!

Exactly what we SHOULD be talking about!

Informative and entertaining- this podcast is unlike any other I've listened to. The chemistry between Dr Ginni and Shelly is AMAZING- even if the topics aren't for you, every episode will have you laughing out loud (and isn't that the medicine). Just wish there was more content like this- honest but not taking itself too seriously. Love. Love. Love!

Truly fabulous!

This was an excellent first series! Informative, funny and helping to break the barriers about things we should be talking about... can’t wait for season 2! Word of advice though.... don’t listen to this anywhere too public via headphones unless you want people to stare at you cause you will laugh out loud!
