Friends! I’m excited/dissociating/sweaty to share the trailer for my new podcast. With #EarthDay this weekend, it seemed like a good time: Expectant is a genre-bending #podcast coming in May about the decision to become a parent or stay childfree during the #ClimateCrisis. 1/6

I don't make "best of" #podcast lists. But, if I did, "Expectant" would be on it this year. For sure. It's an indie-produced series from @pippajohnstone that mixes fiction & non-fiction to ask a gut-punch of a question for our time. @prx @Transom_org transom.org/2023/mixing-fict…

Dropping Tuesday... a chat with @pippajohnstone who produced one of the podcasts of the year, Expectant. Since there's still a month to go in 2023, am I safe in saying it's one of the best? Oh yeah. Absolutely.

Please consider donating! It is unconscionable that refugee claimants and asylum seekers are without food and water, let alone shelter. Myself and @lorrainelamchop are asking for your help to purchase these items to help keep people hydrated and well. gofundme.com/f/water-and-foo…
If you’re in Dundas square this weekend, a) happy Pride and b) LOOK UP! Expectant is featured on Amazon Music Canada's “best podcasts of the year so far” billboard all weekend. Find many other excellent shows on the list at amazon.ca/bestofyear 🏆

Feels like an appropriate time to plug @pippajohnstone’s excellent half-fiction podcast about having kids (or not) in the climate crisis. Haunting, intimate, beautiful. I’ll be thinking about it for a long time. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…
Wow wow wow, I can’t believe we’re here. The season finale of Expectant is out today! It was such a beautiful joy to speak with Emma Campbell and Lisa Cooke Ravensburgen for this one, I learned so so much from them both. 1/2
Thanks so much to everyone who’s listened, commented, and reached out to say nice things. Please drop a rating and review wherever you listen!
