Welcome to a dog’s guide to fatherhood in suburbia. On Child of Dog, Stephen and Ben talk about how they build meaningful relationships, raise open minded children, and navigate their careers in the rapidly-changing world around them. Ben Garson, a respected dog trainer, and Stephen Roth, a holistic therapist who lives on a farm, decided to record the kinds of conversations they have about life — and that other young people raising families might find entertaining and educational.

    Higher Frequency

    We're back! The boys each have new family members: one is furry and the other is not. Fatherhood, fasting, and fostering connection with our kids are all topics of conversation. Enjoy!

    Bread & Butter

    We're back for episode thirteen! Today the boys welcome you into their new studio (even though you can't see it yet)! Discussion includes: how Matzoh is a terrible desert food, being a "kept" man, opinion overload, being vulnerable on social media, a moment or meal we would like to relive for the first time (fan question), phone zombification and the inability to be bored, the expectation of being in touch, forgetting what our children looked like at earlier stages of life, and the qualities of ourselves from the past that we cringe at. Also, Stephen organically does a lot of impressions.

    Small Plates

    On this week’s POD, our hosts are back from a recent boys’ trip to Spain, and are still trying to catch their breath! The conversation centers around food, friends, and the families waiting at home. Eventually, the discussion pivots towards corporate complexities, incentive structures, and the mind-melting effect bureaucratic nonsense has on the population at large. Other topics include: the recent rise in cigarette coolness, vintage shopping abroad, redefining the term “bathhouse,” and paternity leave as a small-business owner.

    Dramatic Pause

    Welcome back to Child of Dog! On today's episode, the boys take questions and commentary from a few listeners. One wonders why Stephen is so unwilling to discuss conspiracy theories on the pod, and another wonders what the hosts think about Valentine's day. In their usual back-and-forth manner, Stephen and Ben reflect on the best and worst holidays, age-old questions like: can you see the "man in the moon" and do people have a good side and a bad side? Other topics include: childhood levitation, Stephen's aversion to cherubim, the best Reese's holiday shape, fruit and nuts in dessert, the end of summer, "Sunday scaries," and exposing children to extreme temperatures in the pursuit of mental and physical fortitude.

    Losing Gravity

    Welcome in 2026 with Ben and Stephen! The boys are back to recap holiday chaos, and decide to try out a small format change, with one of the hosts' presenting a question or topic for discussion each episode. Now responsible for creating their own family's holiday cheer, Ben and Stephen reflect on their childhood experiences of Christmas Day and how that compares to today. Other topics include: Ben's recent concert, the peach and the pit of the most recent holiday season, aversion to chanting in unison and anytime groups of people say the same thing at the same time, the movement to keep Christ in Christmas, the dreaded toddler hitting phase and strategies to manage, what keeps us up at night, and the sudden loss of gravity.

    Chongqing Chicken

    The band is back together for another episode of Child of Dog! The boys discuss the perfect Thanksgiving leftover sandwich, Vas recounts how his pup Gus has eaten a container of dried Szechuan chili peppers, and Ben proclaims himself as the "King of Analogies," to which Stephen objects. Topics include Turkey day responsibilities, the origin of Vas's rescue dog and his emotional sensitivities, the challenges of fostering animals, appropriate client/practitioner boundaries (kind of), and the far-too-common faux pas of people shouting "don't worry, my dog is friendly." Thanks for joining us on another episode of the CODPOD!

    Strategic Avoidance

    Welcome back to another episode of Child of Dog! Join Stephen and Ben for a conversation focused on child rearing, including topics such as: the hosts' middle-of-the-road curiosity about "parenting from the past," balancing analog and digital, protection versus exposure, homeschooling, progress, resilience, and how all of these topics inevitably relate to dog training and therapy.

    Beef Tongue

    After a brief and unplanned hiatus - and without their trusty producer Vas - Stephen and Ben return to the studio for another great episode! The boys recount Ben's birthday celebration in NYC, Stephen's recent and powerful experience with a cadaver dissection training, the hosts' relative experience with death and the question of what lies after, shutting off from grief, covenants with the universe, Jewish mysticism, channeling, and Izakaya beef tongue. An eclectic mix as always! Please like and subscribe, leave a review, and reach out with any questions, comments, or constructive criticism; we love hearing from our small-yet-growing fanbase!
