Kathryn Jezer-Morton is a pHd sociologist and the brains behind The Cut’s popular parenting newsletter, <a href="https://www.thecut.com/tags/brooding/">Brooding: Deep Thoughts on Modern Family Life</a>. Brooding is not an advice column; it’s a collection of smart, funny, topical essays that interrogate what it means to be a parent today, and how we got this way. In this episode of Pressure Cooker, Jane and Liz chat with Jezer-Morton about some of their favorite Brooding essays, hitting on topics like vacation food rules, snack drawers, and “pouch culture” (IYKYK) along the way.
