112: Mt. Rushmore of TV Pregnancies (w/ Sara Reeve)

Cigars all around! We’re delivering…a new episode of the podcast. This week we’re discussing TV pregnancies – how they were handled by shows over the years, and what depictions of pregnancies tell us about society as a whole.

Since we’re three guys, we’re hardly experts at pregnancies, so we brought in someone with a bit more firsthand experience – Sara Reeve, wife of our own Richard Manfredi and mother of their two children. It’s an episode filled with tenderness, laughter and an egg coming out of Robin Williams’ navel and hatching to reveal Jonathan Winters. So, literally, it has it all.
