Not Right Now
Not Right Now
Podcast Description
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.

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.

This week, we talk about the humbling experience of parenthood and how reality shatters expectations.
We cover:
- The gap between pre-parenting fantasies (museum trips and Christmas traditions) versus post-kid realities (barbecue chip crumbs in the car)
- Why buying your postpartum wife lingerie is a terrible idea
- How having children affects relationships and identities
Parenting might not be what you imagined, but finding humor in the chaos makes it all a little more manageable, even when you’re the parent bringing yogurt-covered raisin snacks to baseball that no child actually wants (at least you tried!)
