Latchkey Urchins & Friends, the childhood neglect comedy podcast, is back for Season 2!

 

We are so excited to launch Season 2 with author, psychologist, and former Mister Rogers' Neighborhood ventriloquist Susan Linn. We interview Dr. Susan Linn about her new book, Who’s Raising the Kids: Big Tech, Big Business, and the Lives of Children.

It turns out we've all been indoctrinated from a young age to value buying things due to the United States' lax child protection policies for advertising.

What is Latchkey Urchins & Friends Podcast?

Hosted by me, Alison Cebulla, MPH, and Anne Sherry, a therapist, this podcast seeks to heal trauma through laughter and lively conversation.

There's a nurturance void when we experience childhood emotional neglect.

We look at the personal, interpersonal, community, and societal causes that form the ecology of neglect. This podcast seeks to end the stigma of talking about mental health, trauma, and neglect while providing some resources for healing and growth.

New episodes are released every other week.

Humorous topics include what we made as kids when we were home alone, while almost setting the toaster on fire (if no parents were home to see it, it didn't happen!).

Topics: childhood emotional neglect, attachment, trauma, child trauma, mental health, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), growth, healing, nurturance, community, love, friendship, marriage, parenting, book recommendations, podcasts, pop culture, economics, politics, culture, racism, the patriarchy and more
