Sinopsis
Welcome to SpermCast, with actor, writer, and comedian Molly Hawkey. She wants a baby. The only problem is she's 40, single, and not exactly ready for motherhood. So she's on a quest - a quest for a sperm donor, and a quest for some personal growth. Each week you'll hear interviews with potential donors, but she'll also seek guidance from the pros: doctors, financial advisors, tarot card readers...whatever it takes. By the end of this series, if all goes according to plan, she'll find her donor and inseminate herself.
