Unpacking The KPop Demon Hunters Obsessi...

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

Welcome to Parenting Out Loud where you can be sure you're kicking off your weekend right.

Monz, Amelia and Stacey are here to unpack the week once more — through the wild, wonderful lens of parenthood.

On the show this week:

  • KPop Demon Hunters is smashing records. Kids love it, parents ADORE it so, what’s behind all the hype?

  • Tracking apps: a non-negotiable today, or are we just spying on the ones we love?

  • The evidence that says having kids young is a good idea. We’re not completely sold, but we are talking about it.

  • And Anne Hathaway: the quiet queen of gentle parenting who put the paps in their place.

Settle in — it’s the group chat you won’t want to mute.

Plus, it’s our recommendations:

? Stacey recommends a 'shit bits box' to save your sanity.

?️ Amelia has discovered the first kids' bedtime book that she’s actually enjoyed herself.

? And Monz has got a heartwarming TV show for the family to enjoy.
