Mom Wars

Does having two under two make you a real parent? Bethany and Kara explore that and Kara brings the surprisingly sympathetic details of attending "SlutCon."

This week, Bethany is joined by Helen Raleigh, a writer, entrepreneur, and speaker, for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, observed on October 15th.  This episode comes with it a trigger warning for those for whom this topic is too difficult to listen to. You can follow Helen's work at theduetime.com.

Bethany and Kara dive into the Cornell case, and what it says about sex. This isn’t an episode to listen to around your kids or our family members!

This week, Bethany sits down with her old Ladybrains co-host Mary Katharine Ham to discuss the viral New York Times Magazine essay about how Nikole Hannah-Jones betrayed her daughter by sending her to a failing New York City public school. 

Note: This episode was recorded before the release of the This American Life  episode featuring Hannah-Jones and her daughter, Najya.

This week, Kara and Bethany are joined by Dixie Dillon Lane, the author of the book Skipping School: A history of American homeschooling and how it went mainstream. They talk... homeschooling, you guessed it.
