About Pondering Parenthood

Welcome to Pondering Parenthood, the podcast where real, unfiltered conversations about the joys, struggles, and surprises of parenting take center stage. My wife, Meghann, and I will tackle these conversations with parents we know in our own inner circle. Unlike other podcasts, there are no experts here! We want to hear real nitty-gritty experiences and connect with others who are on this wild rollercoaster with us. Join us for laughs, tears, and just general catharsis!

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.
