'Dinky' podcast by two Oregonians embraces the dual income, no kids lifestyle 

Adults who decide to not have children have faced criticism for being “selfish” or derided as “childless cat ladies.”

The term DINK has been used to describe people who have dual incomes and no kids. 

In the Portland metro area, Erika Abdelatif and Kristen Myers have created “Dinky,” a podcast which takes a lighthearted approach about their lifestyle and features other guests who are similarly childfree.

The show covers news and pop culture, with past episodes featuring a range of topics, including discussions on feminism, traveling without kids and artificial intelligence.  

Dinky has generated a sizable following on social media, including TikTok and Instagram.  

Abdelatif and Myers join us to talk about their show and why it’s resonating with audiences.
