Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little praised for discussing menstrual cycles in ‘taboo’ on-air discussion
17 July 2026 Is talking about periods on live radio TMI? Not if you tune into the Hit Network’s Carrie & Tommy.
In a candid on-air chat, co-hosts Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little discussed if talking to children as young as eight about menstrual cycles would be too much, too soon.
The radio duo argued that eight was not too young for parents to open the lines of communication with their children, whether girls or boys, because kids need to know about their bodies from a young age. However, it seems not everyone feels that way.
“Someone else has called up and said that not everyone discusses this with their kids as if it’s not actually something we should be discussing,” Bickmore said on air.
“I find that really interesting. I can see why you wouldn’t.”
