The Ms Rachel Controversy & The Great Kids Vs Friendships Debate

Description

Another week, another Parenting Out Loud episode where if parents are thinking about it, we're talking about it.

On today's show, Jessie Stephens and Amelia Lester are joined by friend of the pod, and Mamamia's Deputy Editor, Stacey Hicks to discuss whether or not kids ruin your adult friendships. 

Also, to what extent should children's entertainment figures be apolitical, and why is YouTube's Ms Rachel so controversial right now?

Plus, the dumb phone. Between landlines, 'brick' phones and a yearning for the '90s, it seems nostalgia is the newest tech trend for parents. 

And, in this week’s reccos:

Amelia wants you to try a special storytelling collection, Jessie is recommending daycare with a twist and Stacey is all over Dolly Parton's 'imagination' library.
