The burden of caring for babies, sick friends and elderly parents - is it time to recast care work as a privilege? We discuss why women often find themselves in caring roles and how society really values it (or not).

Plus, our weekly recommendations which include two things to watch and one thing to listen to all weekend.

And, our bests and worsts including a special exemption from talking about news, wholesome family fun in the Freedman house and a night out at the greatest show in the world.
