Parentkind
Superreal
Each episode of Parentkind covers two incredible stories about parenting. Host Maggie Kelly unpacks issues around body image, sex, cheating, abortion, the experience of being a transgender or disabled parent, and of course, love.
Some of the stories are weird and funny, while others are just heart-wrenching. But all of them unpack this vast and ancient thing that brought literally all of us into existence. They may be small stories of parents, but it’s one huge tale of Parentkind.
