Introducing... Judged: A Mother's Love

Judged: A Mother's Love

Available for over a year

Motherhood can feel full of judgement - sometimes over the smallest decisions, sometimes over the ones that change everything. But what happens when the stakes couldn't be higher? In Judged: A Mother's Love, Katie Bridget Murphy explores three extraordinary stories of mothers facing impossible choices - choices that shaped birth, everyday life, and even death. These decisions didn't just transform their families; they variously uncovered hidden truths, challenged laws, and helped changed society itself. Through powerful testimony and expert insight, this series asks: what happens when motherhood is pushed to its limits? Writer and Producer: Katie Bridget Murphy Senior Producer: Ophelia Byrne Executive Producer: Elizabeth Clark Sound Engineers: John Benson and Davy Neill Sound Design: Bill Maul Artwork: Tom Cunningham Assistant Commissioner: Prabhjit Bains Commissioning Editor: Khaliq Meer Judged: A Mother's Love is a BBC Audio Northern Ireland production with BBC Sounds Audio Lab.
