The End of the Line
The End of the Line is an audio-fiction podcast about how we treat women who don’t have kids.
For some, this is a conscious choice; for others, it simply never happened for a variety of reasons. Some have experienced loss and trauma, and some are happy living a child-free life. All of them, however, feel judged.
Showcasing brand new writing, this project was created to shine a light on a topic that doesn't get enough air time.
The End of the Line is an inkjockey production.
