Welcome to Hot Flashes: Menopause Monologues, where the shimmering heat of real-life truths meets the crackling sparks of creative fantasy. This is not your mother’s menopause manual, nor is it a collection of dreary statistics to send you scrambling for the nearest sage tea. Instead, it’s a brazen celebration of a universal experience that so often goes unspoken, unexplored, and underestimated. This podcast series features monologues collected from the book series ”The Menopause Monologues” written by Helena Jevons, dramatised and performed by actors all with lived experience of menopause. From stories inspired by real-life women to imagined experiences from history and fiction, it’s an emotional rollercoaster - not unlike menopause itself. Look out for bonus episodes, interviews and live events as HOT FLASHES warms up... A Soundliness Production 2025

"Free Dive" - Lena is a professional free diver, but age and perimenopause have impacted her fitness and ability to do the sport she loves. But one thing that will never change is her love of the ocean.
Woe betide anyone who encounters Bethan in her shop on a bad day... In "We've Got Biscuits" she relates the challenges of its running becoming much harder work than it used to be - and don't you dare move the custard creams.
Hot Flashes: Menopause Monologues features two dramatised monologues each week and the writer's inspiration behind each one.
"Free Dive" is performed by Amy Rockson and "We've Got Biscuits" is performed by Julie-Ann Dean.
The Menopause Monologues are written by Helena Jevons. For more about the books (available now), events and the podcast, visit hotflashes.info
