No One is Coming to Save Us - Podcast Rankings and reviews

As a working mom who helps other working moms, I can’t think of a more important pod to listen to - both to better understand our history and to better imagine a future where all American women are valued in the workplace and where families thrive. That’s my American dream. Thank you for creating this.

The whole story is right here - moving, comprehensive and hopeful. Every child care professional and parent or future parent in America should listen.

To be fair, I’m pregnant, so hormones are all over. But, I literally cannot get through an episode without crying… these problems are so real and so raw. Thank you for trying to at least start this conversation.

This podcast is so relatable and talking about the things no one talks about. Gloria is such a great host and so empathetic!

Edited: after the Dobbs decision came out this podcast went downhill. The focus of the podcast has shifted to covering abortion without any semblance of providing a pro-life perspective, despite the fact there are millions and millions of pro life moms in the country, some of whom who listen to the show. Guests have provided misinformation and disparaged crisis pregnancy centers which help countless women every year.

I find this podcast very interesting and the guest interviews are great, Gloria is very talented. But I’ve been waiting to hear about the reality of childcare for people outside of big centers, and how government programs could support them—e.g, families using unlicensed in-home childcare, proposals that would allow for payment to stay at home moms and family caring for kids, etc. It seems like most episodes assume that tax money paying for large childcare centers with highly-educated caretakers is the main option to fix the system, and I’m not sure that’s what most people actually want for their kids.
