New York City comedians Katie Compa and Raquel D’Apice present Kid/Life Crisis, a bi-weekly podcast about an exhilarating, panic-inducing topic in many women's lives: deciding whether to become a parent— or to stay child-free. Katie and Raquel sit down with comedians, writers, executives and more to talk about their experiences, and crack a few (possibly inappropriate) jokes along the way.
New episodes go live 1st and 3rd Wednesdays. Music by www.bensounds.com.

Episode 55: Marcella Arguello
Standup comic Marcella Arguello once wanted to be a schoolteacher with six children. While helping raise her nieces and nephews and focusing on comedy, she swore off the idea of kids, but decided recently that it could be great.

I'm a big Pushy fan! Glad to find out about your podcast through her wonderful interview. Thanks for talking about the kids/no kids topic. It's hard to discuss with many of my pals. Looking forward to the next episode.
