Julia Hava & Eliza McLamb
About this episode
In this episode, the ladies dissect modern day surveillance parenting by discussing the stranger danger panic of the 80's, the shady dealings of location tracking companies, and why some parents love to control their kids. Digressions include a Goodles update, the Burbank AMC comedium, and why Eliza thinks being left in a hot car as a child builds character. Support the podcast on Patreon at patreon.com/binchtopia.
