If you’ve been a fan of Oliver + S for a while, you might remember a couple of years ago when we introduced you to the fantastically talented Hillary Frank and her podcast, The Longest Shortest Time<\/a>. Hillary is an author and radio producer who contributes frequently to shows like This American Life. In fact, just yesterday I was listening to a recent This American Life podcast and heard a piece from Hillary.<\/p>\n

Hillary created The Longest Shortest Time after her daughter was born. Her intention was to create “a bedside companion for new parents who want to hear in the middle of the night (or day\u2014what\u2019s the difference, really?) that they are not alone. And that as never-ending as those first months seem, they don\u2019t last forever.” And she’s been tremendously successful at doing just that.<\/p>\n

Each Longest Shortest podcast features a parent who ran into some sort of parenting issue. The episodes are funny, touching, and really help to bring us together as parents. Sometimes it’s just nice to know that you’re not alone in struggling with a problem or an emotion, isn’t it?\u00a0 A couple of years ago I was even privileged to participate in one of Hillary’s podcasts<\/a>, if you want the to hear the real<\/strong> story behind the start of Oliver + S. And here’s a short example of Hillary’s work for you; this delightful animated segment was taken from a podcast and developed by a wonderful team<\/a>.<\/p>\n
