Parenting is a Joke

著者: Ophira Eisenberg
  • サマリー

  • 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.

  • Margaret and Amy Laugh In The Face of Parenting
    2024/12/24
    On this week’s episode of Parenting is a Joke, host Ophira Eisenberg revisits a festive favorite featuring Margaret Ables and Amy Wilson, the comedic duo behind the hit podcast What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood. With six kids between them and years of experience making people laugh, Margaret and Amy open up about the chaos of raising children while building a thriving podcasting empire. They explore everything from evolving parenting styles—like the pitfalls of "boomer parenting" and the realities of "out-the-door parenting"—to why sometimes parenting feels like trying to keep a stubborn houseplant alive. Margaret and Amy also share their take on managing extracurriculars, handling picky eaters, and embracing the messy unpredictability of life as parents. From the hilarity of dealing with a kid's Big Nate-inspired sass to the bittersweet transition of launching kids into adulthood, this conversation is a heartfelt reminder that parenting is equal parts hard and rewarding, even if you only recognize that in hindsight. ✨ Subscribe, rate, and review!

  • Mike Pesca Is Raising A Few Good Men
    2024/12/17
    In this episode of Parenting as a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg welcomes Mike Pesca: journalist, host of podcasts The Gist and Funny You Should Mention, and father of two teenage boys. Mike demonstrates his hard-hitting journalism prowess in the episode, as he discusses sugar-fueled parenting, why Ophira almost choked on a grape, and letting your kid give a PowerPoint presentation to earn subway privileges. The conversation meanders from the evolution of entertainment, to media’s influence on teenage engagement, to comedy’s role in helping to navigate global issues to navigating ADHD, but is always peppered with laughs and anecdotes along the way. If you’re equally excited to hear about the future of journalism, gentle parenting, and Ophira’s childhood Disney revelation, this is probably the only place where you can find everything you want (and more!) ✨ Subscribe, rate, and review!
