Self-indulgent delusion.

“Similar in age and upbringing to Molly, I really wanted to love this PodCast. Initially, I did — I understood her, empathized with her, particularly in light of the fact that I had fertility issues.
But as I listened, she angered and frustrated me.
She asks in her introductory jingle: “Won’t someone just help me out?”. Is that what this is: a GoFundMe campaign masquerading as a PodCast?, one designed to lure sperm to produce a child, and to procure money to raise that child?
Since when did having a child become a right?, and when did it become the world’s responsibility to produce and support that child? (Of course, Molly wants total control over that child — though she had to beg to strangers to produce it and raise it.)
Molly fleetingly acknowledges that she is actually quite privileged — loving parents, warm upbringing, Ivy-League education. Also, she is a white woman, living in the United States in 2018. If anything, Molly squandered these privileges and is now using those same privileges to swindle the universe into endowing her with yet another privilege, motherhood.
The real struggle of womanhood — as unfortunate, heart-breaking, and painful as it is — is choosing between family and career. Molly, without success in either realm, now, evokes the kindness of PodCast listeners to give her success in both.
I will keep listening to SpermCast — not because it’s “honest” as other reviewers claimed (it’s self-indulgent and delusional) but because price is right — free.”

“I appreciate Molly’s startling honesty, her kind and funny friends, and the educational tidbits she peppers each episode with. Like Molly, I am a broke, 40-year-old woman trying to have a baby. I have a partner (with sperm—lucky me!), but I also have an infertility diagnosis, so my path to...”Read full review »
