Dr Rangi De Silva, Alison Abboud

Booking Overview

This is an expert-led pregnancy, childbirth, and early-parenthood podcast featuring its clinical hosts alongside external maternal-health professionals and occasional lived-experience contributors. PR agencies could credibly pitch obstetricians, midwives, childbirth educators, perinatal researchers, and postpartum specialists with evidence-based expertise; booking difficulty is low because the show regularly features accessible professional experts rather than highly prominent public figures.
