Take a listen

Just really enjoy the Dad Time Out Show. Would recommend a listen.

Awesome Dads!

Awesome group of dads! Show is informative in a fun way. It’s quite amusing when I relate to one of the 4 different perspectives. I sure do get a few giggles when when they share their family stories. Family topics are helpful in a lighthearted-positive manner. Something I need during these times.

Great Job

Four dads give their honest assesment of raising 12 kids of varied ages in 2021. The show is topical, funny, serious at times and also self depricating enough to let you know were all in this parenting thing together and let's keep the conversations going. Cheers guys. Great Job.
