Introducing: The Longest Shortest Time
This week we bring you an episode from one of our favorite podcasts, The Longest Shortest Time, which features bold, poignant, funny stories about parenthood and reproductive health. Kulap was a guest in 2018! You can find her episode here. CJ Rivers had always dreamed of being a dad. But as a single person with a uterus who also dates people with uteruses, the path to parenthood was logistically tricky. In this episode, we follow CJ's road to dadhood — including sperm mishaps, blatant discrimination, and an underground group of queer midwives in Athens. Buckle up, because this ride is a wild one!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RFC Amazon & Target
Prompted by a DM from a listener who asked for alternative brands for the home, Auntie Ku & Su come to the rescue with a list of brands that may curb your Amazon and Target addiction.

From beauty products and health trends, to celebrities and philosophies they’re passionate about, our hosts dig into anything we buy into and what it says about who we are.
