Featured podcast we think is worth checking out:
Amy and Margaret are both comedians and moms of three, but that’s where their similarities end. Margaret is laid-back to the max; Amy loves lists, research, and planning ahead. In each episode of What Fresh Hell they discuss a parenting issue from their usually-opposite perspectives, plus the accompanying expert advice that may or may not back them up. Check out Amy and Margaret wherever you listen to podcasts, or at whatfreshhellpodcast.com!
