Used to be fantastic.
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 someone without kids, so things became less relatable, but I held on because I knew that they could still tell great stories. And they do! Once in a while they pack a punch, and you hear a great story. But all too often I think they’re just filling time. Instead of feeling like a show where a parent is showing you the complex world of children and parenthood, it’s now a show about kids and parents, but not really by or for them. Give it a listen, but don’t be a completionist towards the end.
