Kid/Life Crisis

New York City comedians Katie Compa and Raquel D’Apice present Kid/Life Crisis, a bi-weekly podcast about an exhilarating, panic-inducing topic in many women's lives: deciding whether to become a parent— or to stay child-free. Katie and Raquel sit down with comedians, writers, executives and more to talk about their experiences, and crack a few (possibly inappropriate) jokes along the way. New episodes go live every other Wednesday. Music by www.bensound.com.

It's back to the land of the childfree as Katie and Raquel chat with fellow New York City comedian Jess Wood, aka "Jess, our friend who got shot in a drive-by." Jess essentially raised herself (...and her mom) among the hippies in Los Angeles's Topanga Canyon, where she cut school, did drugs and ran with punk-rock kids, deadheads, and L.A. gangs before she began acting and doing comedy. We go delightfully off-topic as Raquel learns to differentiate Fred Segal from Fred Willard and recounts her glory days in Malibu, and the episode title reveals itself.

Raquel and Katie with freelance writer Virginia Sole-Smith at her home in the Hudson Valley, where she lives with her husband and their adorable daughter, Violet. Virginia gives us the scoop on 18th-century fertility statistics, endometriosis, and working from home with a kid, and shares her own story of making her way through a medical emergency as a new mom.

Katie and Raquel talk with Leslie Russell, Raquel's sister-in-law's sister-in-law (we promise this is the last time we interview Raquel's relatives for at least a while). Leslie is a wedding planner extraordinaire, and a VERY pregnant mom-extraordinaire-to-be (since we talked, she's delivered a baby girl)! We talk about subway etiquette, sleepwalking, relationships with and without kids, having an actual Supermom, and the scariest late-night Google searches.
