Great information and relevant topics

I regularly listen to the podcast and enjoy the perspectives and information brought into focus. The one area for improvement would be pace of the show. It could move a little faster and fit a bit more into an episode.

(Still) I miss this show!

What a great show. This was in regular rotation for me for years, but haven’t heard a new one for too long. Hoping they make a comeback!

This modern dad loves this podcast

What can i say? I just love this podcast. Marc and Adam are two dads who are not afraid to admit what they don’t know, but are willing to find out. They feature great guests on each show and ask good question. The conversation is organic and real. My favorite part of each show though is the beginning and end when these good friends engage in a funny and quiet conversation, It makes me feel like I am hanging out with 2 old buddies around a camp fire, just chatting and laughing. Thanks so much for your service, modern dads.
