Each May, we celebrate moms and all they do for everyone else—their kids and families, other people’s kids and families, their friends and loved ones, even strangers… and of course, their podcast fans around the world.
It’s time for our third annual list of the Top 50 Moms In Podcasting!
On the following pages, we proudly present the results of the vote for this year’s favorite podcasts for, or hosted by, moms.
While their efforts may be tireless in their role as “mom,” those who choose to share their knowledge, wisdom, expertise, tips, tricks, fears, and fun through podcasting deserve an extra-special gift this Mother’s Day! Help us celebrate them by subscribing to their podcasts now.
Congratulations to all the winners, to every mom who podcasts, and to women everywhere with the honorable title of “Mom.”
Happy Mother’s Day from the Podcast Magazine team!

Hosted by: Robbin McManne. Parents! We CAN change the world, starting with the way we’re parenting our future. Up to this point, children have been seen as “less than” and parented in a way that uses power over them. Most of us were parented this way, but there is a shift in thinking about the way we raise our kids. Parents don’t feel good about using shame, blame, criticism, punishments, and even rewards to get their kids to listen. Parents want a different way, because they know from their own childhoods that this type of parenting hurts and leaves us with scars we take with us through our adulthood. (Kids & Family)
