August 30, 2023 Episode 20: Donor Dylan
I’m so excited to introduce our first sperm donor to the podcast, Dylan. Dylan started donating at 20 years old, but unfortunately found out he was misled by the cryo-bank and now has over 90 children! Recently, an article was published about him and his recipient parents in which they all felt horribly miss characterized, so let’s take some time to clear things up!

August 23, 2023 Episode 19: Egg Donation and Dr. Diane Tober
We are consistently getting bombarded with egg donation recruitment ads on social media. They make it look like it's an easy side hustle that results in a huge amount of money. In walks Dr. Diane Tober. Dr. Tober is a Medical Anthropologist who is one of the very few people studying the side effects of egg donation, how the industry treats egg donors, and how egg donation in the USA compares to other countries. This is an incredible episode filled with horrifying statistics and very troubling data.
