A new podcast about the choices we make and the routes we take to become parents. Hosted and produced by Julie Censullo (creator of Funny Stories to Tell in the Dark). Listen to Choosing wherever you get your podcasts.

Are you grappling with the decision to become a parent, or have you become a parent via a non-traditional way? I'd love to hear your story. Get in touch: [email protected]. 

Choosing is written, produced, and sound designed by Julie Censullo. Jennifer McCord and Kelsey Dilts McGregor provided editorial guidance. Additional voice acting by Kelsey Dilts McGregor. Music in this episode is by Blue Dot Sessions. Additional audio from freesound.org. 

Old Tapes was a finalist for Best New Artist at the 2023 Third Coast International Audio Festival. 

Today, Funny Stories to Tell in the Dark presents a different kind of story.  Julie's dad Paul rarely talks about his older brother David, despite the fact that Paul loves to share family stories. But when her dad started digitizing old tapes from his childhood, Julie decided to ask about David for the first time.  ****CW/TW: This story includes mention of sexual assault.****
