Coach Doesn't Do It for the Money

This week, Quinn and Claire talk about first crushes, school dances, bloody noses, and other horrors of middle school before getting into why youth sports are dying across the US, especially because coaches make no money while dealing with our a*****e kids, so yes, they do deserve a Target gift card at the very least. Also discussed: sleeping (badly), mandatory attendance policies, the art of letting your kid navigate social terrors on their own timeline, and more. ----------- Have feedback or questions?

Coloring Pages of Karl Marx

This week, Quinn and Claire are joined by Garrett Bucks, a writer, organizer, recovering white do-gooder, and parent based in Milwaukee. Garrett runs The Barnraisers Project, writes The White Pages newsletter, and is the author of the memoir The Right Kind of White. He also has a son who is very mad that his sister thinks they live in a suburb. The gang gets into why your son talks differently to his sister than to his friends, kids not knowing what the Epstein files are, growing up in rural Montana, how to get work done in between school drop off and soccer practice, and why protests are important AND performative AND boring and worth doing anyway, and how to actually get your kids to come. ----------- Have feedback or questions?

The Plastic Crisis Isn't On You, Actually

Plastic. It is the miracle material that has quietly become the infrastructure of modern life over the past 63 years and the almost undefeated business model that's continuing climate change and keeping fossil fuel companies alive and reshaping our bodies, our oceans, and our politics. Yeah, plastic keeps food fresh and hospitals running, and cars and planes lighter, and it's also in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the supply chains that keep churning out more of it while they tell us recycling will handle it. Meanwhile, cities and states are actually trying to rein it in, companies are pledging circularity, and regular people are left staring at their blue bin thinking, does this matter? Does any of this work? So what can I do about plastic? My returning guest is Beth Gardiner, a journalist and author of the new book Plastic Inc. Beth pulls back the curtain on how plastic became so pervasive, why the personal responsibility story has been so convenient for yet another industry, and what the real solutions actually look like, because that's why we're here. So stick with us because at the end of this conversation, what can I do? Won't feel like a shrug. It'll feel like a plan. ----------- Have feedback?

Loving Heated Rivalry A Totally Normal Amount

This week, writer Emily Gould joins Quinn and Claire to discuss her obsession with Heated Rivalry (it's about hockey, primarily), the aging cliff at 44, ruining everything you used to find fun by professionalizing it, and parenting the kid that's exactly like you. Also discussed: food parties, advice columns, Julia Roberts, and the Kinsey Scale. ----------- Have feedback or questions?

The Movies That Raised Us (Wouldn't Be Made Now)

This week, we have Meghan Keane Graham and Mark Graham on the show to chat about their podcast, Back In My Day, where they watch movies from when they were 12 and force their kids (ages 12 and 9) to discuss them. We discuss: movies that don't hold up, what to do when your kids hate a movie that was very formative for you, when to introduce your kids to John Hughes movies, springing on your kids that they have to do skating lessons (at bedtime, perfect), and how Billy Madison peeing his pants is actually great parenting advice. ----------- Have feedback or questions?

Maybe Having Another Kid Would Break Us

This week we have fiction writer and mom to one amazing 10-year-old, Joy Netanya Thompson, on the pod to discuss why she chose to stick with having just one kid. Joy gets real about postpartum depression, the decision to stop at one when she never imagined she'd only have one child, and why people need to stop asking invasive questions about family size. Also: January birthdays are hell, boys are eternally and confidently dumb, and why siblings don't guarantee friendship or support ----------- Have feedback or questions?

Cat People Don't Believe In Cat Allergies

This week it's just Quinn and Claire on the pod, crashing out over academic probation (which is actually kind of a relief?), school surveillance that catches kids Googling inappropriate things (it was obviously just a prank, dad), and the theoretical question: who would you get in a suicide capsule with? Also discussed: cat allergies are real despite what cat people tell you, being in the sandwich generation, and our favorite Spice Girls. ----------- Have feedback or questions?

What's The New Fresh Hell In Public Health?

This week, we have another guest! Dr. Devika Bhushan, a pediatrician, public health leader, former acting Surgeon General in California, and mom, chats with Quinn and Claire about the breastfeeding data nobody tells you about, why sleep protection is literally life-saving for some moms, vaccine hesitancy, raw milk, and all the other health & wellness misinformation swirling around the news cycle. ----------- Have feedback or questions?

That's A Hard No

We're back! This week, Claire and Quinn are crashing out over back-to-school chaos (music class that your kid swears they aren't supposed to practice for, curriculum night avoidance, and late start mornings), the cognitive labor of being the "superhuman" parent vs. "the bumbler", dealing with your stubborn Boomer parents, and their current survival strategies (from hiring a scheduling assistant to taking two gummies in the closet because it's a an EMERGENCY) amid a news cycle that just won't stop (media literacy is the new first aid). ----------- Have feedback or questions?

Don't Make It Somebody Else's Problem

This week, Claire and Quinn discuss the very normal things like getting back into shape (this time it's happening!), anniversary celebrations that peak at the cheese plate, and whether a C-minus in social studies is actually a problem. Also: fake spiderwebs as voluntary garbage, ICE at school drop-offs (f**k ICE), why anger feels productive but isn't, and your kids going to their very first wake. ----------- Have feedback or questions?
