In our concluding episode of Children Ruin Podcasts Season 1, hosts Mike Veerman & Alex Cunningham speak to Children Ruin Everything's writer and creator, Kurt Smeaton. The discussion sheds light on the real-life inspirations for the show, how Kurt arrived at many of the creative choices, and what elements of the show mirror his own life, as a parent and partner. It’s a truly humourous and honest conversation that perfectly encapsulates the first season of the hit TV series.

In this episode, our hosts Mike Veerman & Alexandra Cunningham get into the idea of 'personal space'. As any adult knows, personal space is directly tied to one's own identity, and when kids enter the picture, that space evaporates quickly. Special guest Shane Cunningham - a writer, producer, podcaster, and husband to our very own host Alex - joins the show to dish on the familial frustrations and random moments of levity he's experienced in the battle for space in his own household; both as a parent and a partner.

In this episode, our hosts Mike Veerman and Alexandra Cunningham look to address the solemn yet unavoidable topic of 'death.' They discuss the ways in which they encountered it as kids, the explanations they were given, and how it compares to how they now address the topic as parents. We welcome guest speaker and lifestyle blogger Breanna Perkins, whose own experiences of love and loss create a truly frank and honest dialogue on handling grief and explaining the loss of a loved one to a child.
