The At Home Dad Show Podcast Adam & Baker: Modern day stay at home dad podcasters

Why does our food have such a confusing mix of “Best Before ..” “Use By …” and “Sell By …” labeling??!! It’s confusing and maddening, and the USDA says we toss 133 billion pounds of edible food each year due to confusion over date labeling. There has to be a better way! Well, we certainly don’t figure it out on this episode, but we can joke about it! Join us for a shallow dive into food labeling, a spirited game of “Dead or Alive”, and a frank discussion of what to do with grandma’s ashes.

Halloween is here and we chat all things spooky. We review some of the best and worst treats ever made, and Baker shares a trick for keeping your jack-o-lantern from decaying before the big day. 

We're back from Minneapolis and we've had a minute to process our experience at HomeDadCon. To help with our recap we reached out to Chris Brandenburg, current VP of the National At-Home Dad Network and Chairperson for the HomeDadCon event. We discuss this year's Con and the overall mission of the Network, address the dangers of drinking on an empty stomach, and try to get Chris to dish about next year's event. Spoiler alert: he's currently tight lipped about the location but promised to give us the scoop when the city is chosen!

The Out-of-Sync Child: Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Disorder

The National At-Home Dad Network

We lugged our podcasting gear halfway across the country, and we only managed to do one episode! Well, we were just having too much fun hanging out with fellow SAHDs and enjoying some of the local color here in Minneapolis. This here is a quick recap of the goodness of HDC24 with The Kyles. In short, it was awesome and we all can't wait for next year.

We threw some clean underwear in a bag, along with a bunch of podcast gear, and booked a bitchin' minivan rental. We are ready for HomeDadCon! Can't wait to meet everyone we've connected with online and hear from the panel of amazing presenters scheduled to appear. AND go to Elko Speedway for some dirt track shenanigans on Saturday night. We are planning on posting daily recaps so look out for new content all weekend long!

How many happy divorces do you know about? We’re guessing not a lot. When our guest Ben Heldfond and his wife called it quits they wanted to buck the trend but there weren’t a lot of positive examples out there to follow. So, once Ben and his ex Nikki figured things out they decided to share their story. Their book Our Happy Divorce launches this month and Ben sat down with us to share how he and Nikki did it. It’s an inspirational story of what happens when two people put their child above everything else. Do you know someone who needs to hear this?
