  Speaker 1: This is parent Data. I'm Emily Oster. At the risk
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of getting a little mushy, parent data is kind of
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: like another kid for me. You conceive something, you just
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: state it, you think about it a lot in the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: middle of the night, you put it out into the world,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and you hope, with a lot of luck and a
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: lot of guidance, that it thrives. This last five years
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of parent Data have been a wild ride. I went
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: from a plan for writing a newsletter to a few
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: thousand readers twice a month, to providing COVID guidance to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people, to this current moment, when
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: this is a full fledged startup with a website, subscriptions,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and an amazing internal team that supports all the work.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Startups and kids have a lot in common. They demand
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: your time and your energy. They provide both very high
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: highs and very low lows. Require prioritization. You always need
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: to think about what extracurriculars you want to sign up for,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: what's worth experimenting with, what's worth pursuing, and what to
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: stop piano soccer making a podcast. We've been producing the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: parent Data podcast since the fall of twenty twenty three.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: We here is me and my extraordinary producer Tomorrow. Over
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the course of over sixty episodes, I've had the chance
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to talk to so many incredible thinkers, journalists, medical professionals,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: mental health professionals. We've gabbed about placentas and baby salting,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: peanut allergies, and screen time, sleep and summer camp. That
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: was my favorite episode. We've been true to our mission,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: which is to provide the best data driven analysis to
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: your most pressing parenting concerns, but with an extra human
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: touch of hearing real people talk about their real kids
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and their real passions and their fears. And you've heard
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: me talk about my own kids' births, my own pelvic floor,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: my anecdotal experience with device hygiene, my marriage, basically all
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of my own idiosyncratic parenting journeys. And we've had an
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: amazing response from you. You've contributed your own voices, your questions.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: You've written to us to say when something particularly touched you,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: or to tell me what you feel I've gotten wrong,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and more than anything, you've been listening. And that means
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: more to Tomorrow and I than you can imagine. But
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: now it's time to hang it up, at least for
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the time being. We've got so much happening and more
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: in the pipeline, and I'm looking forward to giving my
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: voice arrest and letting my fingers do more talking. Writing
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: has always been my favorite and it's still where I
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: want to spend more of my time. Plus, as of
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: this recording, Tamor's having her baby literally any minute now,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and I think we're all looking forward to a well
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: deserved break. But first some thank you. Thank you to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: all our guests for their time, their honesty, their insights.

  Speaker 1: the Parent Data team for all their invaluable help with feedback, participation,
• 3:24

• 3:28
  Speaker 1: of ears. And thank you especially to my producer Tomorrow
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of Ashy for really being everything here. If you ever
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: get a chance to make a podcast, I hope that

  Speaker 1: you have a partner as extraordinary as Tomorrow, someone who
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: holds everything to the very very highest standard and is
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: willing to say drive to a summer camp and talk
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to kids about their friendship bracelets. Thank you, Tomorrow, really
