Takes too long to get to the point

I’m listening to an episode now it it took them 10 minutes to get through all the ads to start talking about the topic. Stop wasting my time

So much great advice!

I’m a first time mom of a now 8-month-old baby boy, who is absolutely the love of my life. I want to be sure I’m the best mommy I can be for him, but having never really been around kids before, it’s all been a learning experience. Listening to Parent Savers has helped me feel confident in handling issues that come up, and to understand that yes, that seemingly strange thing my baby did today is actually totally normal! I’ll be listening to these episodes again and again in preparation for toddlerhood :) Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Too many ads

Really interesting and helpful content, especially as a new parent. However, there are SO many ads and a lot of the actual content gets buried and missed because of it. I definitely listen to this podcast far less than I would because of the number of ads and how they seem to just get thrown into the podcast randomly.
