About Half Expecting

Steven's wife is unexpectedly pregnant, and now he has 9 months to prepare to be a dad. With the help of his very-much-NOT-expecting buddy, Jake, the two bring on parents, friends, and experts to teach Steven everything he needs to know before he becoming a father. Whether you're also expecting, are a parent of 30 years, or aren't planning on having kids, this our show offers a healthy dose of levity with a pinch of sincerity to the turbulent, beautiful, and chaotic world of being a parent! Steven and Jake make up the comedy duo, "Just Let Me Help." They've been changing the lives of tens of tens of people on YouTube, and are hoping to use Steven's unplanned pregnancy to take over the internet. Subscribe to help JLMH become the next Google.

011 - BABY WATCH: 8 weeks left

8 WEEKS LEFT! 8 WEEKS LEFT! With only two months until the due-date, there’s no time to waste. So what do we do? We tease Steven and Molly’s baby’s name, talk about the reality of baby showers for the dad, and we test another of Steven’s fatherly-instincts: is sense of taste. Jake and Steven compete to see who can best discern flavors in a blind babyfood taste test. It’s a ball.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
