Childfree Loudmouths Podcast

Despite unexpected audio problems, Lilith and Balthazar are back for Season 2… if not (yet) with the audio quality to which you’ve grown accustomed! It seems we still have a few kinks to work out of our new and hopefully soon-to-be improved recording methods.

This time we’re catching up after some recent holidays and celebrations. We’ll talk about how breeders negatively impacted our past Valentine’s Day dates, Balt’s birthday & Mothers’ Day! How have irresponsible and inconsiderate parents impacted your own special events and celebrations? If you’re a childfree woman, how do you handle Mother’s Day? We want to know! We’ll also update you on how far the podcast has spread across the map in our absence.

Childfree Loudmouths’ co-hosts, Lilith & Balthazar, are back! We’re sharing more listener e-mails (moderately edited for clarity and length), one of which includes a listener-submitted parent-couple which was chosen as our Asshole(s) of the Week for their bullying behavior! After dissecting the e-mails for more reasons which might fit into Balt’s previous theory that the reasons for breeding come down to two motivations, we get personal. Balt shares some of his reproductive history, his experience with getting a vasectomy and he addresses many of the myths and misconceptions about the procedure.

If you’re interested in the podcast Balt referenced in this episode, you can find it through We Hate Movies or go to the episode directly here. Meanwhile, we’re still playing “Stump the Balthazar” and taking submissions for reasons breeders may have children which wouldn’t fall under the headings of insecurity and/or vanity. Can you think of one? We’re also, as always, taking your submissions of personal stories to share with other loudmouth listeners!

Never read the comments? We don’t like to think what some of these folks may be teaching their offspring if they reproduce.
