Mom and Son Unplugged
by Melissa Johnson
A mom in her 40s. A son in his 20s. Two lives, two states—and one real conversation at a time. Mom and Son Unplugged is an honest, unfiltered podcast where a long-distance mom-and-son duo talk life, love, adulting, culture clashes, and everything in between. With laughs, lessons, and the occasional generational eye-roll, they explore how staying close doesn’t require being close. New episodes every two weeks—because even hundreds of miles can’t keep real connections offline.
