Refamulating Podcast

Introducing Refamulating!

Listen Now

Refamulating is a new podcast that celebrates different ways to make a family.

Episodes 1 and 2 drop April 2. 

A generation ago, most Americans were guided by the idea of the nuclear family: a mom, a dad, two kids, and a derpy dog. Many still have a family like this, and that’s great!

But the numbers show it doesn’t represent the majority of American households. In fact, there is no one-size-fits-all for what a family should look like. We’re collectively reformulating our understanding of what makes a family in today’s world. We call this refamulating, and this show invites us to understand it one story at a time. 

On each episode of Refamulating, host Julia Winston and producer Claire McInerny deliver emotionally honest stories of real people with nuanced experiences that census data could never tell us.

Think queer parents, egg and sperm donors, surrogates, blended families, child-free folks, tales of communal living, and much more.
