Ep. 74: Raising Buffaloes (Burton Buffaloe & Dustin Patrick Smith) & Jamilah Lemieux
Alex and Shane discuss their Bad Day. They try to work out what exactly has them down, and try to find a way back out of it. There's also chatter about bagged milk.
Burton Buffaloe and Dustin Patrick Smith of Raising Buffaloes discuss their love story, their surrogacy journey, raising twins, the perception of gay parents in their community, and how they'd like to see the paradigm of fatherhood shift.
Writer, blogger, TV commentator and Slate contributor Jamilah Lemieux talks motherhood, raising a free-thinking child, talking politics with kids, the importance of language in parenting, and parenting in a pandemic.
A mailbag of listener questions are answered, hitting topics like North West's famed (and controversial) art piece, parent guilt, stranger danger, and the Britney Spears documentary.
