Parenting is a Joke with Ophira Eisenberg

If, like so many parents, you’re doused with CBD oil, lying under a weighted blanket, and scarfing down leftover chicken nuggets while just trying to figure out how to make it all work, this is the podcast you’ve been looking for. Each week, host and standup Ophira Eisenberg talks to a different comedian or creative person about their career and their kids.

Parenting is a Joke celebrates the absurdity of trying to balance a career with raising a child, all while relishing in the fact that no one knows what they're doing, but we're all trying! Sometimes even our best.

HISTORY

Significant Others

Did you know that the novel "Lolita" would not exist if Vladimir Nabokov’s wife hadn’t stopped her husband from burning the manuscript? Or that Gandhi learned his legendary method of passive resistance from his wife? Or that the person responsible for Maya Angelou’s genre-defining memoir was her good friend James Baldwin? Significant Others is a narrated, nonfiction podcast about folks just beyond the spotlight of history.

Each episode tells the story of a talented, difficult and little-known individual who altered the destiny of their better-known partner, child, sibling, or friend, and impacted the world they left behind. Narrated and written by Liza Powel O’Brien and featuring the voices of Megan Mullally, Nick Offerman, Jameela Jamil, Rita Wilson, Timothy Olyphant, Lisa Kudrow and many more.

COMEDY

We’re Here to Help

Jake Johnson (New Girl, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) and Gareth Reynolds (The Dollop) don’t feel qualified to give strangers good advice. Most of their friendship over the last 15 years has been based around dumb bits, but they do (for better or worse) want to try to help people out.

Like your friendly local bartender or your tipsy uncle at a family gathering, Jake and Gareth are on the caller’s side and trying to help. Each episode, the guys make several pitches to callers (whose questions range from trivial to serious) with their best attempts of advice. They can’t promise their suggestions will be perfect, but it will be the best they’ve got. Jake and Gareth also occasionally bring on a friend, peer or even an expert to help along the way.
