Alison & Greg will keep you laughing while also giving supportive, thoughtful advice & commentary on life.
So often parents of newborns & toddlers are told “it gets worse”. What a horrible thing to say to a struggling parents.
You won’t get that here, instead on a recent episode, Greg said “it doesn’t get easier” referring to parenting older teenagers.
It may seem like a small difference but it means a lot to someone dealing with mommy guilt or trying to survive the sleepless nights & new postpartum life. It doesn’t get easy but you get better if you listen to Childish!

Alison and Greg are a great comedic balance. I enjoy Alison’s sarcasm and Greg’s dry humor. I am about the same age as Alison and have children about the same age as hers. So, I find her stories refreshingly relatable. Greg’s stories from the past are often wild and crazy. What a life he’s had. He loves his family so much. He seems tough on the outside but he’s a big teddy bear.
Even if you’re not a parent, there is plenty of adult content to keep you entertained. I especially look forward to their highs and lows.
I really wish/hope they would return to weekly episodes because I enjoy this podcast so much. It’s a nice break from true crime. I mean, who wouldn’t be on the edge of their seat wondering if Alison finally allowed some back door action?

I enjoy listening to Greg & Alison's anecdotes and opinions on current events and social norms. Greg is a funny comedian and Alison tries to keep things positive. The parenting stories are usually funny. If only Alison would stop saying "aaaaaand," I would give this show five stars.

I’m a 38 year old dude with no plans to get married or have kids, but I’ve loved the show since the start. I feel like Greg and Alison are the surrogate, competent parents I never had, and their combined wisdom has made me consider how I can be a better man.
Greg: Keep on keeping my spirits high with how you handle decades of child rearing.
Alison: Keep on inspiring me with how a smart, beautiful woman approaches civic and moral responsibility. Your kids will love you for it!
I feel the harried sensitivities and joys of parenthood as if experiencing them myself when I listen.
Thank you!

I have been a fan of Alison and Greg since first hearing them on the Adam C. show. I was excited to learn they were starting this podcast, and I’ve listened to every show (even though I don’t have any children of my own). I even gave them a 5-star review in the early months. Lately, however, it seems like they just don’t care anymore. Most frustrating is when they think they know or remember hearing something, and then one of them starts to look it up on Google, and the audience has to wait. Why don’t they pause the recording, or else edit this search time out afterwards? Greg repeatedly states “facts” that are not true, or that he’s gotten mixed up, and has this perverse pride in doubling down on his error. I’m getting pretty tired of talking back to my podcast app: “No, wrong, it wasn’t him it was ________,” etc. It seems like there is no preparation or post-production anymore; maybe they should stop if they’re so bored with the project.
