What's it like to have a sibling that doesn't want kids? Batman enthusiast, professional marketer, sports/pop culture podcaster, and baby brother Erik Fontanez joins his childfree sister Paulette Erato to discuss this question. It's a candid and lighthearted discussion about the dynamics of being a childfree individual within their family context.
Even as a father himself, Erik passionately defends the childfree lifestyle against societal norms, advocating for the validity and autonomy of individuals who choose not to have children. He also takes a break from impersonating Ron Burgundy and meme-making to impresses us with his knowledge of Batman (and sharks!), and reminisce about their YouTube endeavor, Beerocrats TV.
Paulette and Erik not only shed light on the nuances of familial relationships but also champion individual choices and celebrate the diversity of lifestyles, childfree or not. Two Latine sibling podcasters = double the fun!
Spoiler alert: did you know that Batman is not childfree? 🤯
