The Agony of Pandemic Parenting

This episode contains strong language and emotional descriptions about the challenges of parenting during the pandemic, so if your young child is with you, you might want to listen later.

Guest: Liz Halfhill, a single mother and full-time paralegal, in Spokane, Wash.
