About Not Right Now
Not Right Now is a podcast for parents navigating the impossible task of raising kids while *gestures wildly at everything*. Join Quinn Emmett (Important Not Important) and Claire Zulkey (Evil Witches) for honest conversations about parenting in an era of climate change, artificial intelligence, social media anxiety, all while trying to get your kid to just please put on their shoes. From discussing how to talk to kids about the news without traumatizing them (or yourself), to debating the right age for a phone, to admitting that sometimes the best parenting happens when you're hiding in the pantry eating handfuls of trail mix for dinner- Quinn and Claire bring humor, empathy, and real talk to the wild adventure of raising tiny humans in these chaotic times. Because being a good parent doesn't mean having all the answers - it means figuring it out together, one "not right now" at a time. New episodes every Thursday. A show that understands both the deep love and daily chaos of modern parenting.

[…] We got to fix it. This goes after the work practices, but I mean enough without big investments at, you know, in the fields and the ranks and the courts. I mean, you mentioned that the time you have her baseball practice and goes to the facility. I could go on and on, but this is to me like a no brainer for the country to fix. Yeah, I agree. And it's crazy because I culturally you hear about it as a parent. I have two boys, 11 and 14. The older one loves sports more just for fun. The younger one is a more competitive guy. But the travel sports, you hear about it, right? I think it bubbles up. You hear about from other parents. […]
