**Parenting is a Joke**

You know when you talk to your friends about your childhood and end it by saying, “But look at us, we’re fine!” Here’s my question: Are we fine? Because we’re sitting here doused in CBD oil under a weighted blanket recording a podcast called Parenting is a Joke. Each week, host and standup Ophira Eisenberg talks to a different comedian about their career and their kids. Conversations tackle the tooth fairy, eating sticks, summer camp anxiety, the hidden horrors of childbirth, and the obvious horrors of our own childhoods. We celebrate the absurdity of shuffling a career with raising a kid, and highlight less traditional parenthood journeys, all while relishing in the fact that no one knows what they’re doing, but we’re all trying! Sometimes even our best. New episodes every Tuesday. New Season October 1st.
