“EDIT TO ADD: While I still agree with my earlier review, I have recently gone back and listened to some older episodes from the archives and this really was an amazing show in its heyday. There are episodes where I can recall exactly where I was and how I was feeling when I first heard them. And how I wished I could call Biz and Teresa up because I was sure we’d be friends. Seems like this is the final season, and that’s a good thing. But while it’s still available I highly recommend going back for the pre-pandemic episodes. They really played a role in helping me through the stress of young children and I am grateful for that!
This was one of the first podcasts I really connected with, probably 8 or more years ago now. The way they acknowledged the small successes of parenting (like-I remembered to send the library book back to school on library day!) really made me feel seen in a way that I craved and needed at the time. I loved the structure of the show and the different segments. And just so much of what they said about parenting (especially Theresa) really resonated with me even though it was obvious we had very different viewpoints. My prior love for the show made me keep coming back for years after it became clear that the tone had majorly shifted. But now it’s become more too much agenda-driven nonsense. And without Teresa to temper Biz, she can be really grating. If you are a younger parent you may enjoy the earlier episodes but the last 3 years are terrible.”
