  • Love

    Hi I love your podcast and listen to each one. Have you ever thought of interviewing a man as there will be certain situations where a man is bringing up children ion there own and having to juggle a job etc. Just thought it would be interesting from their point of view, I am posting this as a female. I do not recall you have spoken to a man and apologise if you have done this already. Again love the podcast.

  • Likeable

    Sophie is so likeable and gets the most out of each guest. She really listens to what they have to say & is both funny and personable. I would like to hear more stories about queer parenting. Also some more POC voices would be great as the podcast is very white. Overall, a really entertaining listen. Gotta admire Sophie’s work ethic.
