The 9 O'Clock

By Jackson Laithland

The 9 O'Clock is the podcast dedicated to maintaining your relationship while also trying not to mess up your kids. Relationships are hard enough. When you add kids, everything ends up passing through a parent-colored filter. How will this affect the kids? Am I a partner or a parent first? The 9 O'Clock isn't expert advice or fix-all hacks. It's just 2 people who established an accidental routine of on-purpose communication & had enough adult money to buy podcast mics. We're chatting about kids, marriage, & whatever else comes to mind. Welcome to the 9 O'Clock.
