Childfree Podcasts: latest episodes
Childfree Media Podcast
Dann is the first, but hopefully not the last, childfree man we are featuring in an episode of our web series. He is Canadian, eats a plant-based diet and has a fluffy cat. As if he wasn’t cool enough yet, Dann is also the author of “Planned UNParenthood,” the first book about the childfree choice and lifestyle written from a male perspective. We had so many questions for Dann, including how societal pressure feels for CF men, how did he approach the subject with his wife when they started dating, and, of course, about the book.
In this episode, host Raphie shares a voice clip from Sean, a childfree man in South Africa.
Childfree Men speak! Panel replay from the 2022 Virtual Childfree Convention.
Tom James, the author of “Your Children Are Boring: or How Modern Parents Ruin Everything”, agreed to come as a guest to our show to talk about his book. We talked about how all parents think their kid is special, about losing your identity when you have a baby and about what we found out later is referred to as “sharenting” (the overuse of social media by parents to share content based on their children, such as baby pictures or details of their children’s activities), among other things.
From the 2022 Virtual Childfree Convention, speakers share their experiences of what it means to be childfree.

Peggy O’Donnell Heffington is a professor in the Department of History at the University of Chicago, where she teaches courses on gender and women’s history as well as historical research and writing methods. When she’s not answering email, you can usually find her trail running, baking gluten free cake, and looking at clothes on the internet. Peggy lives outside of Chicago with her husband Bob and two pugs, Ellie and Jake. Without Children: The Long History Of Not Being A Mother, is Peggy’s first book.
