About This Podcast

Hosted by Catherine Ruth Pakaluk, author of the acclaimed 2024 book Hannah’s Children, a page-turning account of American women choosing to have large families against the global trend to sub-replacement fertility. Paidaxiology—from the Greek *paidos* (of the child) and *axiology* (study of value)—economist and mother of eight Catherine Ruth Pakaluk continues the groundbreaking exploration begun in Hannah’s Children. Each episode features candid, thoughtful conversations with mothers whose families defy the norm in number and kind. Occasionally, special guests—demographers, philosophers, theologians, and cultural voices—join to deepen the dialogue. This isn’t a parenting podcast. It’s a podcast about meaning, purpose, and the future of humanity. Subscribe to *Paidaxiology* and join the conversation about the value of the child.
