The role of being a Mother offers us the potential for incredible expansion, growth, and power, while also being one of – if not THE – most challenging, undervalued, and taken for granted roles in the world. Motherhood Studies Sociologist, researcher, and single Mother, Dr Sophie Brock hosts The Good Enough Mother (TGEM) podcast with an aim to change how Motherhood is culturally defined and individually experienced. TGEM draws its name from a theorist and pediatrician Winnicott, who highlighted the ways ‘good enough’ parenting is actually what is best for our children – not perfectionism. The podcast centres the Mother as the starting point for conversations with experts and change-makers who are passionate about seeing social, cultural, and institutional change to better support Mothers and therefore our families, and communities.

Divorce from the kids’ perspective. Divorce is such a painful process for everyone involved. Luckily, there are many resources for parents but most of these are from psychiatrists, counselors, and other divorced individuals. Where are the resources for the parents, from the kids’ perspective? Host, Grace Casper, dives deep into what divorce feels like and looks like for the kids by interviewing others. These teen and adult children of divorce share what they wish their parents knew and give insight on what was done well and what could’ve made things better.

Join us each Wednesday as we walk through a new Bible story that will help kids see the biggest story of redemption and ultimately what – better yet, Who! – the Bible is all about: Jesus! Hear a dramatic retelling of these biblical stories by Mike Reeves along with a weekly memory verse and engaging teaching of how each story connects to the gospel.

Created by Ed Jenkins, the Keyshawn Solves It podcast is an 8-episode serialized mystery about a 10-year-old African-American boy who inherits a set of keys that can unlock almost any door. With help from his friend Kiki, Keyshawn uses these keys to help solve the mystery of disappearing bikes in his North Minneapolis neighborhood, ensuring that his community’s Juneteenth bike parade can go on. 

Listeners will be introduced to Juneteenth and its origins, as well as to social-emotional “keys to success” such as resilience, self-worth, and responsibility. Geared to children 5-9, Keyshawn Solves It is produced by GBH Kids and distributed by PBS Kids and PRX with funding made possible in part by Black Public Media.
