One to One

She meets Lucy Jones, mother-of-three, to discuss navigating this online world and the affect it has on mothers, in particular. Samira Shackle is a journalist and the author of Karachi Vice: Life and Death in a Contested City; Lucy Jones is the author of Matrescence: On The Metamorphosis of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Motherhood. Produced by Eliza Lomas for BBC Audio, Bristol.
