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.
Katie and Raquel catch up with comic, actress and radio host LaKendra Tookes about therapy, ghostings, pandemic dating, cohabitating and building a future in an unstable present. (music: mindyraf.com)
Katie and Raquel catch up with Abbi Crutchfield to talk about folding t-shirts, positive touch points, adult ADHD, Mary Poppins, and forging new paths. (music: mindyraf.com)
Katie and Raquel catch up with guest Mindy Raf about the societal bullseye, acceptance in community, non-monogamy, holding in farts, and our evolving longitudinal study. (music: mindyraf.com!)
Katie and Raquel catch up with their second-ever Kid/Life Crisis guest, Jen Dziura, about memes, work schedules, boulders in the gas tank, looking at a bird, online preschool, "mom," swear words and feminism. Check out GetBullish.com! (music: mindyraf.com)
On this episode, Raquel and Katie get up to date with comedian, author, and radio/podcast host Ophira Eisenberg about switching identities, acceptable risk, her birth story, the obsolescence of toys, and figuring it all out. (music: mindyraf.com)
Katie and Raquel catch up with comedian and filmmaker Heather Fink, who last spoke with us five years ago (Ep. 43), about moving to (and dating in) Los Angeles, unions, eggs, partnerships, travel and more. (music: mindyraf.com)
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

Katie and Raquel sit down with Laura Norkin, writer and editor with a focus on parenting, to discuss being raised under a red pen, Thomas the Tank Engine (and Percy), lying to our children, nipple confusion, and inner voices.

Standup comic Marcella Arguello once wanted to be a schoolteacher with six children. While helping raise her nieces and nephews and focusing on comedy, she swore off the idea of kids, but decided recently that it could be great. We talk about experience with kids, falling in and out of love, strict parents, being Latina and child-free (so far), Uma Thurman, and how men are dumb. (music: bensound.com)
Katie and Raquel chat with Anathea Simpkins about growing up in Miami and on Cape Cod, raising children in New York, divorce, IVF, bleeding gums, and owning a cabin. (music: www.bensound.com)
