Dead Dads covers everything that comes after the funeral. We talk about the stuff people usually skip: the paperwork marathons, the garages full of "useful" junk, the password-protected iPads, and the grief that hits you in the middle of a hardware store. Hosted by Roger Nairn and Scott Cunningham, it’s a show for men figuring out life without a dad—one uncomfortable, occasionally hilarious conversation at a time.

    Buying Condoms in Bulk (+ The Power of Positive Thinking) | Dead Dads

    Guest Tiff Daniels joins Scott and Roger to honour the memory of his father, George—a lifelong salesman and "Caring Canadian" award recipient who lived by a mantra of self-accountability. The group explores the heavy transition of becoming the family’s new "roof" after a father passes, shifting from the role of the protected to the protector. From the humour of a Costco-sized errand to the complexity of navigating a parent's medical advocacy, this episode is a thoughtful look at how a father's lessons on positivity and community continue to provide shelter long after he's gone.

    Not Being Able to Say Goodbye | Dead Dads

    Kevin Barrett joins the podcast to share the story of his father, Rowe, a man who balanced a gregarious public persona with a deep, quiet devotion to his family. From his recurring fascination with a documentary about migrating geese to the steady tradition of 6:00 AM Saturday pancakes with his grandson, we look at the small moments that define a legacy. We explore the internal process of navigating a sudden loss and the profound perspective shift that occurs when you realize that "being strong" is far less important than being present for the people who remain.
