Parenting's a Joke brings you an entertaining snack-sized bonus episode featuring Ryan Britt! Ryan, a writer and editor specializing in parenting media, spills the tea on kids’ shows like Bluey (spoiler: he’s not a fan) and his surprising love for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. From breaking down what makes My Little Pony unexpectedly deep to sharing hilarious highlights from celebrity dad interviews—including Matthew McConaughey’s unique parenting “workouts”—this episode is a delight for parents and pop culture fans alike.
Plus, hear Ryan’s thoughts on what kids’ media gets wrong, why escapism matters for parents, and his most memorable childhood Halloween costume (Spock, naturally). This snack is a whole bag of chips!
🦄 Catch Ryan’s writing at Inverse, Den of Geek, and more, and pick up his books wherever you buy books.
