PODRE is a podcast for people who are dads, people who have dads, people who don’t have dads, people who have seen films with dads in them, as well as step-dads, sugar dads, rad dads, ghost dads, the dad-curious, & the dad-adjacent.

Regular segments include “Bad Dads” with historian Brad Franco, the conferring of the distinguished “Not-A-Terrible-Father-In-This-One-Instance Award,” and frequent unscripted contributions from the host’s maximally energetic children. PODRE: a show about fatherhood. In all its fu*@#d-up glory.

    Bad Dads: Greeks!

    Writer, professor, and gourmand John Harvey returns to PODRE for a very special edition of Bad Dads. Chris, Brad, and John look to their beloved poets of ancient Greece to determine which is worse: being a deadbeat dad, murdering your father and marrying your mother, or simply swallowing your children whole without even so much as a nice sauce or side vegetable. We also reach back into the past to hear Julian at age three teaching his mother the plot of The Odyssey (professors' kids: what are...

    The Dad Who Parents. No, Really.

    Dads matter, yes. But do they matter... as much? Are there fundamental differences in the roles of mothers and fathers? And if there are, is that ok? What do we really mean by "coparenting" and how much more involved is this younger generation of fathers in all of the family business? Literary critic and professor Dr. Monika Gehlawat sits down for a discussion about all this plus the value of parental differences, whether birth order is destiny, having immigrant parents, which long-dead novel...
