Andi Smiley is a mom of three littles 5 and under and podcasts have saved her sanity. So she now makes a podcast about podcasts to help other moms learn about all of the different podcasts there are without feeling overwhelmed. The Friendly Podcast Guide talks about a different show in every episode, with each episode being about 10 minutes long, because moms don't have time to listen to a bunch of different podcasts to figure out which one is right for them.
