    Episode 13: Bad Fanfic Mad Libs

    What's the deal with fanfiction always focusing on characters having babies?! Can't they come up with something besides the old "make 'em pregnant" card? We decide to spice up some of the uh.. more interesting fanfics we found and make them into Mad Libs. Listen as we take some of the weirdest stories and make them even stranger as we explore the wild and wacky world of Harry Potter, Malcolm in the Middle, and Grease fanfiction.

    Episode 12: Not Home for the Holidays

    Covid may be a relief to some people, since they have an excuse to NOT visit friends and family for the holidays and will be able to avoid their intrusive questions like, "when are you settling down and having kids?!" (spoiler alert: NEVER!) But for some of you, you're not so lucky! We read some face-palming, jaw-dropping advice columns where some people just don't know how to mind their own business! Plus, we discuss some advice and tactics you can use if you have to endure a familial interrogation in person (or via Zoom?). It may be the holiday season, but we ain't home for the holidays this year! Our Cat(s) of the Week are Tali and Denali from Germany! See their adorable pics on our instagram.

    Episode 11: Happy Anniversary!

    It's our anniversary! Live vicariously through some of our anniversary celebrations over the years since we're all stuck at home anyway. Great deals with strings attached await you in Mexico! Feel a little schadenfreude-y at some excruciatingly embarrassing stories from Scotland that will have you cringing! Who are those awkward Americans? Why, it's us! Plus, what's it like dating as a childfree person in this day and age? We don't know, but some people do, so we share some red flag stories and discuss the difficulties of finding trustworthy partners who aren't hiding secret children. Jared's story about a past coworker might have you cringing or laughing -- depending on your sense of humor. Our Cat of the Week is our dear, departed Cupcake who left for the Rainbow Bridge in May 2018 -- see her cute pics on our instagram and submit your kitty for a future episode! www.catsoverkids.com www.instagram.com/catsoverkidspodcast

    Episode 6: COVID, Kids, and Workplace Imbalance

    News reports speculate that COVID may lead to a baby-bust of 500k fewer births in the US -- and that's a bad thing, why? Jared and Teresa are suspicious that this is a dire situation. Plus, Japan, low birth rates, and face masks -- they've been doing it right for awhile. And what about parents getting preferential treatment at work during COVID? Is that creating an unfair balance in the remote workplace?
