Hey there, Add to Cart listeners, Hillary Frank here.

I host the longest shortest time, an award-winning podcast about parenthood and reproductive

health.

We tell surprising, poignant, funny stories about things like sex ed, birth control, pregnancy, bodily autonomy, and kids of all ages.

I've talked to Casey Wilson about mothering without a mother, Rob Heuble about having a pre-mey.

W. Kamau Bell came on to ask his mom about her sex life back when he was a kid and she

was single. You don't have to be a parent to listen. We talked to plenty of non-parents too,

like Terry Gross, who talked about why she chose to never have kids. Kulop was also a guest

in 2019, talking about her struggles with fertility and her complicated

and it's one of my favorites. You can find any of these episodes by going to the longest,

shortest time in your podcast app and searching

for the guest's name. Please also follow the show to make sure you don't miss an episode. There is

so much going on right now in the world of reproductive health, and we're going to cover all of it.

All I really wanted was to be a parent.
