When environmental and other factors are right, girls and women learn at least a little about menstruation before they experience their first period.

For boys, men and others who don't menstruate, the menstrual cycle can remain something of a mystery.

Later in this episode of Talk of Iowa, host Charity Nebbe talks with an Iowan who is seeking to empower men with information with The Agenda and Manstruation: A Field Guide

First, we listen back to a conversation that was originally produced in October 2020 with Erika Billerbeck about her book, Wildland Sentinel: Field Notes From an Iowa Conservation Officer.

Guests:

Erika Billerbeck, author
Alyx Coble-Frakes, CEO of The Agenda.
