Podcasts about to kid

The conscientious journeys and decision-making processes by people who don't have children, often remain unacknowledged stories and contributions. Further, as our community of people without children grows in separate directions, namely via the identities childless and childfree it must be acknowledged that these identities most often reflect only the end points of this continuum. So, who are we as a collective community? What do the not so tidy experiences of people without children whose paths were not a simple “yes” or “no” look like, and how might the melding and choosing of ‘childless' and ‘childfree' identification be more complex than it is generally expressed? Our guest today is award-winning filmmaker, Maxine Trump, In her film, “To Kid. Or Not to Kid”, Maxine shares her own journey on this continuum. Her film bravely plunges into an aspect of reproductive choice often misunderstood, mischaracterized, or considered too taboo to discuss. With rising public awareness about climate change, resource scarcity and global population, her film asks the question Why can't we talk about not having children?” Join us for this conversation as we navigate these questions and more!

In Part 2 we tackle the idea of overpopulation advocates, at their core, dislike children. Tied to this is also the insinuation that to not want a baby is selfish and somewhat unnatural. And while things are changing as births in industrialized nations decrease, the old prejudices run pretty deep in society. Join host Jane Turville's fascinating interview with filmmaker Maxine Trump who's film To Kid Or Not To Kid explores these prejudices as she shares her journey to decide whether or not motherhood is right for her.

This is a series about liberating more people to choose a life that is most genuine to them, and to celebrate a choice that challenges antiquated perspectives about gender, sex, love, and what it means to be a real family in society. Discussion topics include but are not limited to: health, wellness, love, professional life, sex, contraception, and relationship satisfaction over time.  This series highlights the benefits of life in the childfree lane, and corrects misassumptions about childfree couples – to increase societal acceptance of all childfree individuals, whether they have found their soulmate, are in search of childfree love, or are happily single and childfree.

Maxine Trump is the writer, producer and director of the film, “To Kid or Not To Kid,” which confronts societal expectations around motherhood. We tackle why society may be so late in approaching motherhood as a choice, dive into the term “childfree,” and discuss the growing number of women who are choosing that path. We touch on how financial questions and career decisions influence women’s choices. In Mailbag, questions about investing, making catch-up contributions, and the decision to make home renovations or move.

Is motherhood an essential part of womanhood? Some think so, and it might surprise you how much societal pressure remains today for women to have children. Mothers hope for, and some pressure their children to give them) grandchildren. Friends ask newlyweds when they’re going to “start a family” (aren’t the newlyweds already a family?). Even the attitudes of some medical professionals can lack sophistication. Some couples make the decision to have children as an automatic default – just the next step in life. “No one congratulates you, for not having kids.”  – Maxine Trump Maxine Trump gave this decision much more careful and thorough consideration. She documents this in her new film, To Kid or Not to Kid. The filmmaker shares her thoughts and observations on the subject with the World Population Balance team. To Kid or Not to Kid opens in theatres in New York and Los Angeles on November 15, 2019. Maxine Trump will appear at the screening November 15 in New York, joined by special guest Leilani Munter, the famous childfree race car driver, and with Kevin Shane of the Male Contraceptive Initiative. She’ll appear at an LA screening November 18, with My Favorite Murder podcast host Georgia Hardstark and childfree author of The Baby Matrix, Laura Carroll. The film will also screen in Toronto on November 28. The PBS Independent Lens YouTube channel is also launching a web series with Maxine Trump, Should We Kid or Not?, on November 15.   LINKS: To Kid or Not to Kid Host Your Own Screening Party Independent Lens on YouTube Family Size Decisions That Consider Welfare of ChildrenEpisode 27 of The Overpopulation Podcast Choosing ChildfreeEpisode 5 of The Overpopulation Podcast Coming Out as ChildfreeEpisode 34 of the GrowthBusters podcast Subscribe to get Overpopulation Updates (email) Share your thoughts with us        

Happy Friday folks! Today I’m joined by writer/director/producer Jill Demby Guest of the doc And Now Love and writer/director of the documentary To Kid or Not To Kid, Maxine Trump. Fair warning, I had a little Forrest Gump moment with Maxine’s interview on her first question cut out a bit on the call. I was able to catch another one later, but my apologies. But I’m sure she’ll find it funny as she did get her start in comedy...and that’s all I have to say about that.

Director Maxine Trump's new documentary, "To Kid or not to Kid," has just premiered at DOC NYC, and this week Trump comes on the podcast to discuss the movie and its emotional toll.   The piece focuses on the decision people make about whether or not to have children, and all the societal and other implications that go along with it.  It is a difficult, personal, choice and not always an easy documentary to watch.  We discuss it all here.

A climate emergency has finally been declared. Grace and Dave explain the bad news from the IPCC and evaluate media, public and policymaker response. Has sugar-coating the news and projections in the past been useful? Is it time to “take the gloves off?” Some say even this new, alarming report is understating the seriousness of what we face. What should we be doing about it? Now that denial of the science is pretty much behind us, what stands in the way of an appropriate response? Is apathy an issue? Saturday Night Live may have summed up our predicament a little too accurately. The agenda includes the Trump administration’s approach to climate. Plus: World premiere announcement of a new documentary, To Kid or Not to Kid, at Doc NYC, World Vasectomy Day is a thing, and a new segment featuring Heidi Bischof, the head and heart of Earth Ethic.
