Kid/Life Crisis
Kid/Life Crisis
Katie Compa and Raquel D'Apice
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 1st and 3rd Wednesdays. Music by www.bensounds.com.

NEW update for listeners
Per a listener request, we'll do a handful of new episodes coming up (we won't even attempt to promise a schedule or number, as we both still have ADHD and there is an Adderall shortage!) following up with past guests. Plus new theme song by Mindy Raf! http://www.mindyraf.com
