The Playground Podcast
There’s no hood like parenthood! How often do we really get to hear real, open, and honest conversations? The Playground was launched to share real human stories, the good, the bad, the funny and the sad. We also host some leading regional experts who offer tips and tricks for our listeners to benefit from.
We want to walk away knowing that we made a parent’s life somewhat easier, or even just made them smile!
