Poorly Raised

Poorly Raised is for the parents that make a beeline for the clearance rack; the parents who thrift, consign, and hustle to feed and clothe their families. Poorly Raised features parents, partners, and hosts Jenn and Jamie, as they discuss the highs and lows of raising children on a limited income. It’s a podcast about being poor, about parenting, and about parenting while being poor—but not being poor parents! Poorly Raised is available on iTunes, Spotify, Apple Podcast, SoundCloud, and more. Theme song by Dan Bryk. Email us at poorlyraisedpodcast@gmail.com.
