Get ready to be Sidetracked with Heather MacFadyen and Cynthia Yanof. Each week these two tackle the most “urgent” issues surrounding friendship, aging (un)gracefully, marriage, parenting mishaps, and faith. There’s enough laughs to make you snort and enough relatability to make you wonder if they’re reading your mind. Come for the humor, come for the camaraderie . . . heck, come for the spectacle... more

Happy Mother’s Day from Sidetracked!
This week, Cynthia and Heather celebrate by bringing on two very special guests: their moms. What follows is equal parts heartfelt, nostalgic, and absolutely hilarious. Between forgotten hearing aids, technology ... more

In a world that’s so serious it’s nice to have a place to laugh for silly things. Love the charge to find the humor in life.
I loved it so much that I became a super tracker! I need more light-hearted, fun podcasts because news is depressing! I have 3 teenage boys so Heather’s insight and vulnerability is so nice!
Absolutely love listening to Cynthia and Heather every week. (I’m a Supertracker, too.) I save the podcast to listen to during my least favorite activities to make them more bearable! Love the mix of the serious, helpful and hilarious from two Christian women in a similar stage of life. Also enjoy the product recommendations and appreciate that the podcast doesn’t feel like one long commercial like a similar, very popular one I listen to. Thanks for a fun but meaningful listen!
Funny and not taking themselves too seriously. More of this please
These ladies are hilarious, but also strong Christians. I LOVE the combination! I would listen every day if I could!
