The Teachings is a monthly radio broadcast and podcast, featuring four single Montreal moms dishing out the matriarchal truth — sometimes in English, French and Spanish — over dinner and drinks. Listen to some real talk about raising kids solo, surviving violence, managing bad baby daddies and smashing the patriarchy on the daily. All this and killer tunes.
