New York, NY, June 7th – The award-winning parenting podcast What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood is celebrating a major milestone – reaching a whopping 10 million lifetime downloads! Created and co-hosted by Amy Wilson and Margaret Ables, moms of three with distinctly different parenting styles, What Fresh Hell has become a haven for parents everywhere seeking advice, laughter, and a healthy dose of “you’re not alone” in the daily mayhem of parenting.
“We’re absolutely floored by this incredible milestone,” says co-host Amy Wilson. “When we started What Fresh Hell in 2016, our kids were ages four to fourteen years old. Now we have tweens, teens, and two in college. A lot changes, but a lot stays the same, even as kids get older. We like to think that’s why this podcast continues to resonate with so many listeners.”
Co-host Margaret Ables adds, “The fact that people out there have listened 10 million times is a testament to the power of shared experiences. Parenthood can be messy, frustrating, and undeniably hilarious, and we’re so grateful to be there with listeners on their journeys.”
What Fresh Hell is part of Adalyst Media, “where women come to listen.” The podcast is a Webby honoree for Best Podcast: Kids and Family, a two-time Davey Awards Gold Winner, a two-time Signal Silver Award winner, and a Podcast Awards People’s Choice Award for “Best Family and Parenting Podcast.”
With 10 million downloads and counting, What Fresh Hell proves that when it comes to motherhood, laughter truly is the best medicine.
