Welcome to the Commune Dads podcast! Hosted by adder Oaks and Keegan Dunn, this podcast explores parenting and education in alternative culture. We live in an income-sharing intentional community and want to share our experience with the world. Each episode we pick a topic to discuss and do a very good job of getting off track. From those interested in hearing anecdotes about life on a commune to those wanting to hear about the challenges that all parents face, this show has something for everyone.

Siblings with Ezra Freeman
Keegan and adder are joined by fellow commune dad Ezra Freeman to talk about raising siblings on the farm. We tend to say that age peers at Twin Oaks are much like siblings, but is this really the case? What advantages and challenges above those of friendships do kids experience? We are also joined by commune kid Lily to chat a bit about her experience as a sibling-less child.
