- One of my new favourites!
I appreciate the scripted format and snappy editing in particular. Many podcasts, including both hosts’ other/original projects, tend towards a lot more banter than I like and this is a lot closer to Behind the Bastards (with some Weird Little Guys mixed in), or one of the better episodes of It could Happen Here.
The show’s focus on pro-natalism is both timely and extremely productive in a way that isn’t true for most other podcasts, including the ones I mentioned above.

Simply the BEST podcast which unpacks a lot in what’s really behind “pro-natalist” movements. The hosts do their research, giving us a historical perspective which explains a lot. Thus the hosts are more positioned to come up with deep insights. So are their listeners.
