  • Such a great listen

    I absolutely love this podcast. I love deep dives on the topics they choose, and the way they explore all that is unspoken. The host is so knowledgeable about a range of topics and brings on excellent guests to dive even deeper. I can’t say enough good things!

  • screen time

    Non-parents who are also not pediatricians or child development researchers, especially characters in the smug podcaster cinematic universe, SIMPLY MUST stop calling screen time among children a “moral panic.” You just don’t know what you’re talking about.

  • Affluent white lady discovers things

    While the show does an excellent job picking interesting topics, the analyses and explanations are often cursory, sometimes flawed, and often biased towards lazy liberal tropes (e.g. the patriarchy is the cause of something) without deeper reflection. Stylistically, the host’s tone often seems breezy and unserious even when discussing heavy topics. And I often chuckle at the enthusiastic way they explain something as if they are the first (white, affluent) people to discover it. The show has a g... more

  • Well intentioned but lacking

    This podcast is good for having on in the background and/or if you want a lighthearted discussion to listen to. Although she seems well-intentioned and caring, the host is incredibly out of touch. She is an affluent white woman and it shows (she always talks about how she lives on an island in her other podcast). So, she has a pretty narrow view of different aspects of culture, and oftentimes is tone deaf when it comes to socioeconomic issues. I also feel like her analyses of topics is pretty su... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What's So Great About a Freaking Hobby?
Q: How do you balance participating in your hobby and wanting to share it without being too online about it?
Doree started a newsletter about it. I just sort of feel like if you are enjoying it and it feels like something you wanna share, not everyone wants to share it. If you wanna share it, go ahead.
What's So Great About a Freaking Hobby?
Q: What counts as a hobby?
No, and I think like, we're going to talk more about this monetization move later. Like the idea too that sometimes a hobby has to be something that you could document, that has to be Instagrammable almost.
What's With All This Eldest Daughter Discourse?
Q: What does a society without eldest daughters conforming to their prescribed role look like?
A society without the eldest daughters conforming to traditional roles would likely face significant challenges, particularly regarding elder care and emotional support.
What's With All This Eldest Daughter Discourse?
Q: Are eldest daughters quantifiably more relied upon than eldest sons?
Yes, in many cultures, especially in immigrant families, daughters often take on caregiving roles while sons are expected to provide financially.
What's With All This Eldest Daughter Discourse?
Q: What do you think it means to be an eldest daughter?
It's about the parentification and societal expectations we have experienced, often leading to the need to manage family responsibilities early on.
