#NoBibsBurpsBottles: The Stories of Childfree African American Women

Podcast is well done and has interesting guests but the guests and the host frame things around children often. The conversation is often centered around not having children YET. To me child free means you have no intention to have children ever.

I realized that this is a childless podcast and not a childfree podcast but is advertised as childfree? I think it needs to be rephrased so that those of us looking for childfree podcasts aren’t lead astray.

I listened to a few episodes and am a bit disappointed. I do appreciate the content though. I just thought this podcast would be about black women who are childfree by choice. I personally don’t want to hear about women who don’t have kids currently but eventually want them in the future. The other reviews are accurate when they say this podcast should be called “childless” meaning women who want children and can’t have them OR women who don’t have children currently but eventually want them. Childfree by CHOICE to me and many others means, women who don’t want children at all. Not because they can’t have children but because they simply choose not to.

Majority of the women who are calling are those who regret not having children or missed the opportunity to have Children because of infertility or they are single (don’t want to become a single mothers). It is a still a great and informative podcast though, I just think the name, childfree is misleading.
