- Judgey and Uneducated
Judgey and I feel far less intelligent having listening to an episode. Horrible.

Best podcast for new and not new parents, curious people, engaged thinkers, people who are in process, or if you just love to laugh.
Apple Podcasts5Trufflesalt5000United States2 months ago - Long time listener, first time reviewer
I’ve been listening for years and never felt the need to write a review, but when I heard the episode on How to talk to kids about Minneapolis, I had to thank you for taking a leap and writing about really hard stuff. Your guest gave some great practical tips. You two are gems and I love the balance of seriousness and levity in What Fresh Hell.
Apple Podcasts5Bubsy1529United States3 months ago - Favorite parenting podcast
This podcast gives wonderful information to help with parenting but never in a judgmental way. I love that they understand neurodivergence and how that takes parenting to a whole different level, so their advice is always practical, not impossible.
Apple Podcasts5MamaTigerLilyUnited States3 months ago - always look forward to this every week!
I have been listening to Margaret and Amy for years now since my kids were toddlers and they are now tweens 😩. they are so funny and cover all sorts of interesting topics and I love the research they do and the comedy sketches that are usually towards the end of the episodes. Highly highly recommend— they really do feel like awesome friends that keep you company amidst the stresses (and humorous moments) of parenting.
