Pocasts are amazing. And I say that as someone who (yes) has only just discovered them. Something to listen to without the incessant repeat songs on music radio, and without the irritation of listening to talk radio, podcasts are a whole new world. You choose the topic and it’s often delivered with hilarity, sincerity and on a weekly basis (which is just enough time!).
Some of these are more for listening while your kids are out and about and others are family friendly. We’ll let you know in the descriptions!

Anna Faris is Unqualified
Clue is in the game, but we still love Anna’s relationship and parenting advice, even if she is unqualified. Her warm presence plus her hilarious, en-point comic delivery make this one a winner in our books.

The Longest Shortest Time
