Romina and Luca welcome their third guest: it is the brilliant and talented Victoria Howden, musical comedian based in London. Victoria and her wife are child-free: among other things, she talks about her choice and about her native country, Israel, where citizens are strongly ecouraged to make babies.

After Luca's wife, this week it's Romina's partner turn. They talk about his child-free life and how and when he decided not to have kids.

It’s the beginning of the second season of our podcast and Romina and Luca have decided to welcome guests! The first guest is Laura Peli: she is a corporate coach, she is happily child-free by choice, and she also appears to be the wife of our co-host Luca :)

It’s Christmas time! Romina and Luca talk about how enjoying Christmas whilst being childfree. From childhood memories (are Santa Claus and Father Chrismas the same person?) to present festivities, our hosts explore the different type to spend this period, whether you choose to be alone, or with a partner, or with your extended family and friends.

And there’s time to mention traditional Italian cakes too!

The idea that being child-free is not something to be ashamed of is becoming more and more popular and mainstream. An example of this is a recent comedy video by Chelsea Handler (A Day in the Life of a Childless Woman), which became viral but has also caused a lot of reactions (usually from men).

Inspired by an article about a brid barring her 12-year-old niece from her wedding, Romina and Luca talk about weddings and children: kids can be disruptive at times, but Luca's wife had a brilliant idea on how to invite families with children and still celebrate without a hitch.

A recent newspaper article about child-free pubs and restaurant prompts Luca and Romina to talk again about this topic that is proving increasingly popular. The discussion spans through time and space, as they talk about creating child-free zones in some cities in South Korea and the times when in the UK kids couldn’t enter a pub. 

Luca and Romina talk about the privilege of being aunt and uncle, rather than parents. Child-free uncles and aunties can be a bridge between parents and their kids: they are adults like the parents, but don’t have to be as strict and can be cool!

Luca has watched the Barbie movie and he talks about it with Romina. In their chat, they cover a wide range of topics, from dolls and toys to patriarchy, motherhood and childhood memories.

According to a 108-year-old British lady, her secret is having dogs instead of children. Can it be true? Does having kids affect your life expectancy?
