Are You KIDding Me?

About this episode

What do you think of someone who doesn't want children?

Teddi explores this and it's a growing trend. She talks to Mary, a woman who simply doesn't want kids. Why is there so much shame and judgement? Why is it embarrassing or considered weird?

Teddi asks Professor Amy Blackstone,  who studies childlessness and the childfree choice, to share her knowledge and expertise. Filmmaker Maxine Trump joins in about her new documentary TO KID OR NOT TO KID. 

And our own Easton, admits he and his wife will likely not have children.
