The At Home Dad Show

Halloween is here and we chat all things spooky. We review some of the best and worst treats ever made, and Baker shares a trick for keeping your jack-o-lantern from decaying before the big day.

We’re back from Minneapolis and we’ve had a minute to process our experience at HomeDadCon.

We discuss this year’s Con and the overall mission of the Network, address the dangers...

We lugged our podcasting gear halfway across the country, and we only managed to do one episode! Well, we were just having too much fun hanging out with fellow SAHDs and enjoying some of the local color here in Minneapolis. This here is a quick recap of the goodness of HDC24 with The Kyles. In...

How many happy divorces do you know about? We’re guessing not a lot. When our guest Ben Heldfond and his wife called it quits they wanted to buck the trend but there weren’t a lot of positive examples out there to follow. So, once Ben and his ex Nikki figured things out they decided to...

We’re back from a quick summer break with evolutionary anthropologist Dr. Anna Machin who explains exactly how fathers saved the human race. No, seriously folks! Our wide-ranging conversation is a must for all parents, especially dads who don’t always get the parenting props they deserve.

Soooo we may have to change the name of the show now that we’ve decided that “Full-Time Dad” is an awesome way to describe what we do. Or not. In any case, on today’s show we are back #InTheTrenches with Kyle Thompson a fellow Minnesotan who has a mohawk, is into short track racing, and...

Schoooool’s out for the summer! And that means it’s time for the kids to head to summer camp … or is it? Adam is feeling a little guilty that he’s dropping the kids at camp (and paying for it) when they could totally stay at home with him. He got some great feedback from fellow...

It’s our first official After Hours show! (No, we’re not counting most of Season 1…) Tonight, we sit down with our good buddy Matt Osborn and a bottle of The Ocho. Matt hiked the entire John Muir Trail with nothing but the pack on his back, a song in his heart, and presumably some bear...

Father’s Day is upon us and today we sit down to discuss how best to celebrate Dad. Coffee and donuts in bed? Yes please. Chilling in a lawn chair on the beach? Absolutely. A big cup of shut the hell up? Hmmm … questionable. Find out what Adam’s perfect day looks like—down to the minute....

Don Miggs is about as multi-talented as they come, and we’re excited to sit down with him to discuss his new book “Dads Know Best” (dadsknowbest.com) which is a no bull, no punches pulled welcome to parenthood written along with his friend and bandmate John Luzzi.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m pretty drunk but my Lyft driver can’t tell,” well you are wrong, buster. We know that now because our guest Kyle is a Lyft driver and he can TOTALLY tell. Adam caught a ride with him recently and, wouldn’t you know it, they figured out they were both SAHDs! So,...

As Baker always says: “Never the same road twice!” Adam “Can’t Leave Well Enough Alone” Gershon decided he needed an RV upgrade, and found his dream coach in Boise, Idaho (pronounced BOY-see).

Most of us get nine months to prepare for our first child. What if you only had three hours??!
