Super Familiar with The Wilsons
Marriage 2.0 with kids…and all the side quests! Super Familiar with the Wilsons is a weekly comedy podcast about second marriage blended family life, and the beautiful chaos of parenting, aging, and figuring it all out (again). Hosted by Amanda and Josh, partners in life, love, and side quests, each episode dives into real-life stories, quirky observations, listener emails, and spontaneous tangents that somehow always circle back to relationships, resilience, and the absurdity of modern life. Whether you’re navigating your own second act, raising kids who don’t want your help, or just wondering why birds seem to aim for your head, you’ll find humor, honesty, and heart here. Expect: offbeat storytelling, second-marriage dynamics, parenting fails, philosophical detours, and new friends you didn’t know you needed. Familiar Wilsons Media produces content to bring people together. We are curious, hopeful, and try not to take ourselves too seriously...admittedly, with varying degrees of success.

We're had a rough week so in lieu of a new episode, here is an episode of theUnscrew It Up Podcast, where Josh and Amanda try to solve a big problem with a tiny tool: a shared set of words that could help people communicate across borders.

Meanwhile, a small boy puts on glasses and the world snaps into HD. He starts speaking in riddles, announcing new powers, and requesting a meeting about budgets like a tiny haunted accountant.
We also open one email, avoid several emotions, and briefly question whe...
