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... 

Parenting is a Joke is a new podcast hosted by standup comedian Ophira Eisenberg. Each week she 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, highlight less traditional parenthood journeys, all while relishing in the fact that no one knows what they're doing, but we're all trying! 

Previous guests include Emmy-award winner Samantha Bee, stand-up comedian Roy Wood Jr. (The Daily Show), comedian Tig Notaro, actress Christine Taylor, Eugene Mirman (Bob's Burgers), Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), Chuck Bryant (Stuff You Should Know), Catherine Reitman (Working Moms), Dr. Emily Oster, NY Times editor Jessica Grose, CNN Correspondent Bill Weir, and more!

Parenting is a Joke is produced by Pretty Good Friends and iHeartPodcasts and is available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard. New episodes every Tuesday, mini episodes every Thursday.
