Episode 3 is all about the importance of talking about menstrual health. Removing the stigma around periods by breaking down the walls of misinformation around it is the surest way to normalise menstruation. We do this with inputs from physician, Dr. Tanaya Narendra and the founder of Paint It Red, Ms. Ananya Chhaochharia.

Un-Viral is a podcast where we at Factly tackle that dangerous combination of the two kinds of virality—misinformation about health. Tune in to discern the real from the fake, and remember to Un-Viral.
