  • I look forward to every episode

    I love being a fly on the wall in weekly conversations between Quinn and Claire. It is so normalizing to hear the real talk about parenting in this specific modern time. I recommend this for anyone navigating raising children who likes a good pod to listen to while gardening or (insert hobby here.)

  • relatable as heck

    These episodes mirror so many conversations that my wife and I have about parenting / kids. Conversations that I am sure I would have with fellow parents in a universe where dads of 4 get to have a healthy social life.

    Great podcast, I look forward to it every time it shows up in my feed!

  • Refreshing and delightful

    In general, most “parenting” podcasts are full of soft spoken mothers who aren’t willing to admit that being a modern parent is incredibly frustrating. Within 10 mins, I was so happy to listen to other parents complain without judgement. Fan for life!
