Care and Feeding | Slate's parenting show

Support Your Child-Free Friends!


Listen Later

On this episode: Lucy Lopez, Elizabeth Newcamp, and Zak Rosen answer a question from a child-free listener. She's been putting in the work being a villager for her friends with kids. But now, when she needs someone in her corner, everyone is too busy. Is she expecting too much? 

But first, they share their latest triumphs and fails, which include: changing family culture, a movie that can’t be unseen, and the perfect day on the water. 

Podcast production by Cheyna Roth and Rosemary Belson. Video production by Micah Phillips.
