  • 5 minutes in before trash talking capitalism

    I am dying for one mothers podcast that doesn’t have an implicit socialist bend. My mother escaped from communism and we had family members killed by it. Not all of your listeners are anti-capitalist, in fact a silent majority of people are NOT socialist. Please, save the anti-capitalism jabs for a different, more political format! I want to hear about science based parenting, not your inexperienced, naive take on socialism and politics.
