POTY 44: Maybe We Shouldn’t Have Kids by Ben and Sarah Jedd

Show Notes:  THERE ARE NO SHOW NOTES.

I know!  It was my podcast resolution to give better show notes, and I FORGOT THEM ALTOGETHER.  Normally, this would be no big deal, and I would just throw them together.  But!  We actually forgot that this whole episode was in the can, and we recorded it like 20 days ago, so I HAVE NO CLUE what we even talked about.

ENJOY.
