Keeping up with the news can sometimes feel like a full-time job, and for parents juggling school runs, meal prep and everything in between, it often slips to the bottom of the list. The Motherload is here to help. This brand-new podcast is cutting through the noise and delivering the week’s biggest stories in a way that’s quick, clear, and relatable for parents.
Launched in early August, The Motherload is the work of radio journalists and mums, Kerrie Turner and Jenna Yates. Each week, the pair share a bite-sized news bulletin that runs under four minutes, designed to give parents the essential updates they need without wasting time. It’s news refined and reshaped through a mother’s perspective.
“News hits different as a mum. We don’t just watch it or hear it. We feel it,” says Kerrie Turner. “Every story affects the world our kids are growing up in. With The Motherload, we keep parents across the big headlines quickly, without sacrificing
context or care.”
Jenna added, “We’re leaning into what we know best. This isn’t just news. It’s news as a mother sees it — stories that matter to families, delivered in a way that fits into the busiest of schedules.”
Episodes drop every Friday morning, making it the perfect way to start the weekend. So whether it’s over your morning coffee, during the school run, or on your way to work, with their combined decades of radio experience, Kerrie and Jenna bring insight, clarity and empathy to every episode, all while keeping things short and sharp.
Jenna and Kerrie previously hosted the podcast, How Motherhood Changed Me, which explored the joys and challenges of modern motherhood, sparking conversations that resonated with listeners. With The Motherload, they’re now turning that same mix of honesty and expertise toward news, making sure parents don’t have to choose between staying informed and staying on top of life.
The Motherload stands out by giving parents exactly what they need, news that’s digestible, relevant and empathetic. For families who want to understand and discuss the world around them, this podcast is about to become a weekly must-listen.
You can tune into The Motherload on all major podcast platforms, with new episodes every Friday.
