Yeardley Smith — actor, playwright, producer, host and activist — is a lot of things, including the iconic voice of such a big part of our childhood, Lisa Simpson. 

She shares stories about her childhood and her battle with bulimia. Yeardley also talks about her time on The Simpsons, how the popular TV family has showcased the reality of imperfect real-life family dynamics; and we talk about her intriguing true-crime podcast, Small Town Dicks, the incredible work of her production company, Paperclip, as well as her hilarious and light-hearted cooking show, Oil and Water.

We have a very special guest on today’s chat! We welcomed our baby boy and are over the moon to be starting this next chapter of our adventure together. We’re taking a little break from the podcast to enjoy this time as we navigate our new roles as parents (and try to catch some zzz’s… although that's probably wishful thinking!). We’ll be back with lots of questions and reflections. Until then, we’ll just be right here, soaking it all in (literally)… Thank you for all the love and support!

BRB! Busy Relishing in Babytime!

We’ve received a lot of great advice from friends and family as we prep to welcome our first baby! One of our friends told us about cord blood storage - something we knew nothing about. After looking into it, we decided to hop on a chat with Dr. Jaime Shamonki, Chief Medical Officer at Cord Blood Registry, to talk all about the science and the why behind collecting and storing our baby’s cord blood and tissue.
