Today, we’re breaking down the biggest stories, separating fact from fiction, and diving into real issues like missing millions meant for soldier meals and the latest on GI Bill extensions. Before you stress or hit share, let’s take a step back and sort through the facts together.

Ever feel like the media made for kids doesn’t quite match what parents actually want? You’re not alone. After countless conversations with fellow parents—especially in military circles where media choices really matter—I decided to dig deeper. I surveyed 100 parents to understand how they evaluate TV shows, movies, and video games for their kids. In this episode, we’ll break down the key questions parents ask, the challenges they face in filtering content, and what influences their decisions. Tune in for a deep dive into what parents really think about kids' media!
