Thoughtful, heartfelt, funny, and so relatable, even for those of us who are moms! I appreciate how candid Chris and his guests are about the joys and trials of parenting. Chris is a close friend from childhood, as are some of his guests, so it’s been such a treat to listen. The production and content are masterful.
Chris hits the sweet spot in discussing parenting- a perfect mix of being real, raw, and hopeful.
I’m a madre, but I look forward to the new episodes every week!
the guests on podre podcast are wildly smart without being stiff & great storytellers to a one. plus host chris brunt puts the FUN back in dysfunkshunal family hilarity.
i have adored every episode. fantastic editing and i have listened to the whole thing more than once! count me in. this is the sleeper hit on the season
I’m not a dad but I can relate so much so much of this as even as a mom. I love when Chris talks about how much his own upbringing and pre-parent baggage factor in. It has been such a struggle for both my husband and I to try to replicate the parts that were good for us in our own childhood with our children and to TRY not to repeat the parts that were so awful for us. Keep on keepin on Chris!
And I’m not a dad, but I have had a couple fathers. It’s hilarious & moving & I love the interesting guests!!
