Other parenting podcasts come and go for me, but I’ve been listening to What Fresh Hell for 5+ years now and it’s still a great listen every time. The wit conceals genuine parenting wisdom and I’ve learned a lot from Amy and Margaret’s experience and world view. Thanks so much from a mum in Australia.

I’ve been listening to this delightful pair for about four years now, and tuning into the podcast has become a weekly staple in my life. They’re funny, thoughtful, and tackle really interesting topics affecting parents and women of all ages and stages today (I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought of Margaret singing “developmentally appropriate” in various parenting situations lol). Hearing Amy and Margaret pop into my earbuds feels like watching a comfort show - so good!
