The Episode I was Too Afraid to Publish

The Episode I was Too Afraid to Publish

Author: Danusia Malina-Derben October 11, 2023 Duration: 35:42
Danusia reflects on the only episode she didn't publish and the reasons why. Join her in celebrating, and closing out the last episode of the pod – and hear about what's in store in the next chapter. In this episode you'll hear:

> What happened when Danusia made a tiny list of guests she didn't want on the pod - and how Katie Hopkins (no.1 slot)  became her guest;

> How the Katie Hopkins interview went and why it sat unpublished on Danusia's podcast shelf for so long;

> Moments from this interview that left Danusia agitated - including how this sharpened her need to review who gets voice;

> How Danusia 'drawing lines' on what can and cannot be said and what gets to be made public impacted her thinking;

> Why the distinction Danusia explores between freedom of speech and safety for women and marginalised people, is crucial;

> Why hearing from people with different views has nothing to do with seeking agreement - and how this matters for our children;

> How this process sparked the future of the pod.

"I love School for Mothers, it's an injection of badass"

Danusia Malina-Derben hosts Parents Who Think, a podcast built on the premise that thoughtful disagreement is more valuable than easy consensus. As an entrepreneur, author, and mother of ten, she facilitates candid conversations that deliberately challenge the comfortable assumptions and unspoken rules of modern parenthood. Each episode features intelligent parents from a wide spectrum of backgrounds, engaging in no-holds-barred debates on crucial dilemmas. The discussions are raw and unfiltered, offering listeners a range of perspectives that often exist outside mainstream parenting narratives. This isn't about finding a single right answer but about illuminating the complex, often hard realities of raising children. Whether your own views are conventional or more marginalized, this podcast provides a rare space for genuine intellectual friction. You'll hear nuanced arguments that prioritize thinking over dogma, inviting you to examine your own choices more deeply. The goal is clarity, not comfort, making it an essential listen for anyone who believes parenting deserves more than a recycled script. Tune in for conversations that interrupt the status quo, acknowledging that agreement is not the point-rigorous, compassionate thought is.
