Found this podcast a couple weeks ago and I am really enjoying listening to Joe and Anea’s experiences. They choose really unique topics to talk about the good the bad AND the ugly but it’s discussed from a very realistic and forgiving perspective. As a new parent I feel a lot of pressure to do everything right and to be a completely perfect parent and this podcast really receives a lot of that pressure for me. This podcast is a lot more like hanging out with some friends and having a friendly chat about the struggles of parenting. Keep it up guys and thank you for your hard work!

Hi I love that you are not a couple and both female and male, it’s great I came across your podcast a few months ago and share as often as possible. Thank you! Veronica from CA

I’m a bit of a podcast junkie and have been Loki h for a podcast about parenting & children. Your podcast on Big Emotions in front of little minds...may be the most impactful podcast I’ve ever listened to. I’ve listened to it three times in a row. Very grateful for podcast and I’m very excited to continue listening.

Very helpful, serious topics with concrete advice and a little humor. I also highly recommend Anea Bogue's book, 9 Ways We're Screwing Up Our Girls and How We Can Stop: A Guide to Helping Girls Reach Their Highest Potential. A great resource!

This is my favorite parenting podcast! I miss you guys!! 😫

How come there are no new podcasts? It’s been months! What happened? Are you guys ok? Is the show cancelled?

Get to the show already! And Joe curb your enthusiasm a little bit- his is not a radio.😃

Love listening to this podcast but I do agree with another review in that Joe... you interrupt a lot! And you do ramble on and it takes away from the information that Anea is trying to provide. It’s like she takes a step forward in the conversation and Joe, you take it back two. She has a lot of patience. She has a lot of great points, but at some point I, personally get frustrated and want Joe to stop interrupting and get to the point. One example turns to three and Anea is always saying “yup”, “right”, “yes” to be nice and allowing you to finish.....Subject focused and short and sweet is so important.

I originally gave this podcast 5 stars and a rave review (I mentioned in the old review that my son was 2 months old; he’s now 1.5 years old), but I can hardly listen now. There’s so much interrupting from Joe and long examples that fail to illustrate Anea’s actual “point” because he didn’t finish letting her make it! This happens often. I’m saddened by how often Anea is cut off, since she’s the one that offers the most valuable input. This isn’t to say that Joe offers no value. He does illustrate and sum up points effectively, but there is way to much not-so-funny interjections that result in a complete loss of whatever Anea was going to say. They never seem to circle back after the interruption. Also, they recently had a guest on the show (“Who Changed Math?”), and they both constantly interrupted him for quips and input that wasn’t needed. For a show that talks about respecting other’s beliefs, inputs, etc. they didn’t do that with this guy. He would be on the cusp of making an interesting point and then a rude interruption forced him to “mmhmm mmhmm” for 3 minutes while his valuable input was buried under non-substantive “stuff.” In sum, this show has great things to offer. But I’m estimating that there’s a total of, gosh, 7 minutes per episode of valuable, thoughtful, interesting information. The rest of the time is full of ads, quips, and interruptions. I used to love this show a lot, but I’m getting tired of it.

This is a great podcast! I tell all my friends to listen. Some great real life tips on how to parent better, or how to be a better partner. Realistic and worth a listen! Plus we live in Santa Cruz and I love that Joe is a local!!

Love this podcast ! On days that I feel I need help with my parenting skills and my mind is spinning out with the do’s and don’ts. Joe and Anea help me hit my reset button with parenting skills by offering new perspectives and different ways to approach parenting challenges.

My wife and I are expecting a new little one and have been listening almost non-stop to this podcast. Each episode is great and provides so many learning opportunities, suggestions and advice on being a rad parent.

I never write reviews, but I had to write one for Rad Parenting. Joe and Anea have a fantastic outlook on parenting, and they provide rock solid advice to help you become a better parent. Their advice is practical, easy to implement, and effective! I love that they are both genuine and open about their own parenting challenges, usually in a humorous way, which makes you realize no parent is perfect. Joe always makes me laugh and Anea honestly provides the most well articulated, clear advice I have ever heard. Thank you, Joe and Anea, for your compassionate and thoughtful dialogue on parenting. Keep up the amazing work!

I just started listening to this podcast. I recently moved in with my significant other who has an 11 year old daughter and I have no kids of my own. I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing and it is SO intimidating. This podcast has been AMAZING for me and has given me helpful advice as well as validating my worries and helping me realize what I already know. Thanks for being awesome guys!

I love this fun, quick-paced podcast. Each week is a different topic and the hosts provide a great balance of light-hearted fun and serious education. So glad they decided to do a podcast togehter and I hope it continues. I recommend it to all my parent friends!

I’ve listened to a few parenting podcasts before the little one came but many were too talky about what they were doing as a pride point (“as a mother”) and the only one that resonated with me and I’ve stuck to is Rad Parenting. It’s a good balance of academic and real-world information and experience that feels genuine rather than a couple of parents trying to seem superior (“I ALWAYS have my kids down by 7pm and they sleep through the whole night!”). Thanks Rad Parenting

I have an 8 month old and my husband started listening to this as I was pregnant and told me I had to listen. I tend to catastrophize (always assuming the worst) and worry a lot about how I am going to handle things with my daughter. Even though I cannot use a lot of their teachings right away I truly believe this is preparing me for parenting. The hosts have great humor/energy and the topics are so very relevant that I believe will stand the test of time. Overall great podcast. Good job guys!!

I look forward to a new episode each week! Very honest and informative!!

Such a good show. The range of topics are so broad and really give information and ideas you may never have thought of before. I highly recommend, and they are great about answering emails too.

Expecting my first child in September and listened to the podcast regarding naming your child and I am already hooked. Hopefully listening more will calm my nerves and get me more excited.

I love Joe and Anea! Favorite podcast right here! 💕

I've been subscribed to this podcast for a while and love, love, love the information that Joe and Anea provide. Many of the episodes help to show me that I'm not alone in some of my parenting struggles. To top it off, the fun, down-to-earth personalities of Joe and Anea make this podcast a blast to listen to. Thanks!

I love Rad Parenting! It’s super informative without being preachy. I’m a first time mom and I love the advice given on the show!

Great podcast! I can’t wait to hear more

I love listening to Anea and Joe! Thank you for sharing your life experiences and giving me the tools to help my little one navigate the world. I am a new mom and am SO glad I found this podcast. Anea and Joe have opened my eyes to various topics and how to handle the different conversations/questions that may arise as my son gets older (9 mo now). Also, you’re so entertaining to listen to! Thank you and please do not stop doing this podcast!!

I am so glad I found this podcast, the info I have mined from it has been so beneficial. Thanks for keeping short and to the point while also being super entertaining and informative.

Joe, seriously, I can’t hear you during most of the podcast. I love podcasts, and I might like yours, but Joe talks so low during most of the podcast that I’m constantly turning up and down the volume. It’s unlistenable! I can’t listen. Post production should fix this for us.

I’ve been really down about who I am as a mother lately(what mother doesn’t) and I decided to listen to a parenting podcast for the first time. I’m one of those people who doesn’t like information/advice shoved down my throat in one big lecture. I really love how you guys go back and forth and I just have so many “aha” moments and I’m always like “oh same” listening to y’all. I’m really happy that I started listening and I can already see myself sort of blossoming from the advice and the fun stories that are totally relatable and I LOVE that I don’t feel alone in my parenting woes anymore! You guys are amazing and you’re doing a really great job!

I dont have much free time to listen to podcasts or anything really lol however this podcast makes nap time so enjoyable!!! So informative and entertaining.

I love this podcast! Anea and Joe deliver useful tips with great chemistry for an easy listen as they tackle relevant day-to-day topics in only 30-60 min. usually. Parents with any age kids can take away powerful tools for their toolbox of life, and also hear great stories that help us feel like we're not alone with particular struggles or questions.

Great podcast! Helps me navigate the murky waters of parenting AND marriage, giving me an action list and talking points to share with my partner! Great topics from REAL people. Love you guys! Keep up the great and important work!

Great podcast. Very helpful and also entertaining. I find one of the most exciting things about parenting is figuring out what you want to do better than your parents did and what they did that you would like to continue. This show helps me sift through those sorts of thoughts and help me learn how to parent better!

Sounds Advice and real life debunks for parenting. My wife and I are 8 months pregnant and I’ve been listening for 8 months so far. I’m hooked and lifetime subscriber!! Thanks for taking the time to empower parents to parent positivity! Y’all rock!

Just listened to the tantrum episode. Loved the delivery and relatability of the hosts and their actionable advice.

Noice

Anea and Joe are smart, funny and wise. Their tips for parenting are top notch.

Too much talking from Joe. I almost turned it off after listening to him for a full 6 minutes before finally some “uh huh’s” from the cohost. Listened a little more but it was monopolized by Joe. Too bad because there’s some good stuff to be had in there.

This is such a great podcast, good practical, non-preachy, down to earth advice and very funny. I feel like I'm listening to good friends. I really think it’s made me a better dad. It’s by far the best parenting show I’ve ever heard, best of luck to Joe & Anea! They deserve it!! I love it! Thank you!!!

LOVE Rad Parenting!!! As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I recommend this podcast to all of my clients. Informative, fun, and insightfull. Take a listen and enjoy.

This is up to date, informative parental advice! Fast paced, Joe is upbeat and energetic and the chemistry between Joe and Anea plays well off each other! This is no Beaver Cleaver advice, this is current, fresh and relevant to today’s generation. Joe is currently raising two teens, so he knows what’s up! Also, The diversity of guests will give you some great ideas about what other parents are doing and how they approach parenting and the way they solve problems. It’s a great podcast that is extremely helpful and entertaining for every parent of this generation! Check it out!!

Wow, Joe! I loved listening to you. Very informative and interesting. I’m a retired teacher, mom of three and grandma of six. Loved your tips.

To hear these two speak of their failures as opportunities for growth is a breath of fresh air. In a world where we live in online social echo chambers, this podcast offers open minded and multi-faceted perspectives on issues ranging from raising healthy, self-aware kids to establishing norms for your family and marriage. It’s always nice to know that there is a ray of light in the dark world of cultural identity predicated on being the best. Try this podcast (any episode) and enjoy a refreshing gulp of self-actualization after sweating out a tantrum from your kid or the ever present judgmental stink eye of observing adults across the room.

This podcast is for anyone who has children in their lives. You get open, honest, real and often amusing answers. Anea Bogue and Joe Sib are the perfect mixture of expert and not. Well worth a listen. You’ll find yourself anxiously awaiting the next episode.

Great stuff from real people

This podcast saves me on my long commutes, and schools me in parenting, and keeps me laughing ! Joe Sib's family stories are histerical, and Anea helps keep it real!! LOVE THIS PODCAST!

I never knew about this podcast even though I’ve been a fan Of Joe’s awesome comedy! Even though I’m not a parent it’s still a rad listen👍. If u haven’t checked it out please do! Also if you listen to this podcast but don’t know Joe’s Comedy check that out! You will love it! -Gene Everett

My fave parenting podcast!

I have been listening to this podcast since it first started because I am such a huge fan of Joe Sib, as a musician, record label owner, radio DJ, and now standup. Joe brings his unique and often humorous take on parenting to this podcast. I usually find myself relating to him as I have two young children. I was not familiar with Anea before, but she has become such a great source of advice and information on parenting. Given her professional experience and Joe's real-life accounts, they bring together a wondeful platform on parenting. I have already recommended and gotten several of my punk rock parents hooked on this podcast.

Joe and Anea give practical, real-world advice for parents raising their kids in the real world. No sugarcoating, no BS. Very funny and very useful. I've recommended this show to all my friends with kids.
