I realize this is an old podcast. However this year (2023) I became a mom and I really enjoyed listening from the start those first few months. Like most media endeavors after 2015, the content has more of a slanted-‘progressive’ view which I honestly find boring. One of the reasons I enjoyed...Read full review »

I listened to the episode with Ina May and was disappointed to hear how much baggage Hilary has against the interviewee. It sounds like the host during her narrations isn’t actively listening or being objective and instead taking everything very personally which doesn’t make a good...Read full review »

I am here from the Ina May Gaskin Episode. You quite literally said “labor was manageable until I got Pitocin” AKA you didn’t fail because you got an epidural, you failed when you decided to give birth at a hospital. This is why she harps on fear. If you had no fear you would have birthed at...Read full review »

Holy moly. As a first time mom in the thick of newborn life, this podcast is SO amazing - I feel so seen and understood, and I know I'm not the only one dealing with these things. It's refreshing hearing the specific reflections/struggles of early parenthood by parents who have some...Read full review »

I love this show so much. I started listening to it when I started high school, and recently graduated college still a huge fan. I love Hillary Frank and her sensitive and thoughtful approach to her topics and guests. This podcast has meant so much to me for so long and I miss it every day!...Read full review »

I just listened to an episode as an assignment for class and was so moved by the beautiful story presented. I couldn’t imagine this being my last time listening, so I subscribed. Thank you for this amazing content!

I listened to the late term abortion and it was Heartbreaking. While I don’t have words to speak to this familiy’s loss, I will say that there are some points that were missed. First, Donald trump was speaking to Ralph Northam statement(from cnn.com) “ infant would be delivered. The infant...Read full review »

This was my favorite podcast for a while. At some point the interviews stopped being about that first year of parenthood and the show really lost its poignancy. So many gimmicky episodes, and the storytelling felt lacking. I’m still giving it 3 stars for those first episodes though, if I was...Read full review »

I started listening to this podcast 2 years before I had my baby and loved hearing about different parenting styles and stories. Now my daughter is one and this podcast has helped me learn so much and not feel so alone as a first time parent.

I think this was my first podcast. I came to understand what good, quality content was through LST. I thank every person who put a hand in this podcast to ensure the public learns, laughs and grows in life. Will always be a fan!

This podcast got me through pregnancy and being a new mom with its great stories and relatable and honest host, but since it switched hosts, I rarely listen. I tried, I really did, but I cannot understand why someone without a child would be chosen to host this show. The show tried to tie in...Read full review »

I actually look forward to waking up in the middle of the night with my baby so I can listen to these stories.

I am a podcast junkie. This is hands down my favorite podcast. Soooo good.

This show used to be good, but has become way too “woke.”

I love love love it! All the scopes and shades of parenting experiences with positivity and humour. Learning how we all struggle in our own ways and how we can be one compassionate and supportive community. They say it takes a village... well when you don’t have one or you feel lost and alone......Read full review »

I’ve been binge listening to the whole back-catalogue while wrestling an active toddler and a 10 month old. Thanks so much, keep it coming!

I’m giving this a four because while it used to be a solid 5, it’s now a 3 for me. At the beginning, this podcast was relatable and really felt like it was about early childhood. But the producer’s child grew up and she was no longer invested in early childhood so she left. She was replaced by...Read full review »

This is my favorite parenting podcast! Very engaging, funny, interesting. However, I would like less episodes featuring marginalized demographics (for lack of a better term) like trans parents, black parents, adopting parents etc. These are insightful, but I wish there were more episodes based on...Read full review »

Andrea and her incredible guests provide so much love and laughter for families from every walk of life! Engaging, inspiring, and downright hilarious are just a few of the words I’d use to describe the time you’ll spend with them. Thanks so much for putting out such a stellar show Andrea - keep...Read full review »

I love the topics! My favorite episode is by far 197. Don’t love how much advertisements there are. Almost down rated it due to this.

The Longest Shortest Time has been a stable podcast of mine for four years, and I only became a parent two years ago. I don’t believe you have to be a parent to host, a guest, or a listener. This podcast is about family, and it has evolved over time to portray a rich variety of relationships....Read full review »

This podcast is great, except the voices of the women hosting are so distracting and irritating. They end nearly every sentence in a low vocal fry which makes this so painful for me to listen to. 😕 Ladies everywhere! Please stop this! 🙏🏼

I am not a mother but a full time nanny and I love this podcast! I have been binge listening ever since I discovered it. I also love you Andrea, I think we may be the same person!

I’m going to use the corny saying of ‘knowledge is power’ because for over 18 years I was dead set on not having children. I was also under the impression that I would never marry. I was lucky to find someone who made me want to get married and is now changing my mind about children. I have only...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to this podcast since inception. As someone who doesn’t have kids I appreciate Hillary’s storytelling that doesn’t purely focus on being a parent. HOWEVER, why the heck would you make Andrea the host. She does not add much intelligent insight and lacks the skills to convey a...Read full review »

I’ve tried several times to go back to listening with the new host, and am finally unsubscribing and deleting. It used to be a great podcast and one I really leaned on during pregnancy and right after when parenting felt impossibly big. I’m giving an extra star for the old episodes, but the...Read full review »

Miss the stories with more in depth and substance. Instead we get to listen about the baby shark song. I love Andrea Silenzi’s other work, but the podcasts decision to move to a non parent was a mistake, you do not get parenthood until you are a parent/caretaker. Has turned into a nonstop...Read full review »

I love this podcast, and I hate parenting advice. Since becoming a mom a year ago, I have really enjoyed this podcast for its chill, rational, tone and the stories of such diverse parenting experiences. Love listening to LST while walking my dog and baby around the neighborhood!
