Australia's 'sperm drought' is prompting people to look online to find a donor. 
Rather than spend years on a fertility clinic's waiting list, people are increasingly turning to social media and dating-style apps to find a match. 
But what are the risks of finding a donor online? How can you be sure of their health history (and how many times they're donating)? 
And, as more single women chose to solo-parent, does something need to change to make legitimate pathways more accessible? 
In this week's deep dive, we hear from the people donating and looking for sperm online, and find out what's driving Australia's donor shortage.
Guests: 
Dr Lynn Burmeister, fertility specialist
Alisha Burns, founder of The Solo Mum Society

Leanne Maskell first appeared in Vogue when she was 13.
From the outside her life as a model appeared glamorous. But in reality Leanne was battling to survive.
After blowing the whistle on the modelling industry in her first book in 2019, Leanne's since opened up about another important part of her life: being neurodivergent.
In this week's long listen, Leanne talks about being diagnosed with ADHD and autism as an adult, the impact it's had on her relationships, and how she says harnessing the power of AuDHD has changed her life.
