With November 14th being perhaps the most significant date on the T1D calendar (not to mention the 2 year anniversary of our show!), we wanted to treat our listeners to some truly special guests.

This is another of our episodes that we live-streamed but also edited down for your pod-listening pleasure - so just a heads up re some of the steam-related goofiness that you might hear in this ep.
Goofiness was essential for this one though, as the dads discussed the virtues or otherwise of remote learning, something every family with school-age kiddos has had t...

A real treat for our listeners this episode! DaD had the privilege of visiting with current Major League Soccer (MLS) champs Seattle Sounders and US Men's National Team starter Jordan Morris, perhaps the most high-profile T1D athlete in America.
Jordan talks openly about his earliest T1D memories, his fears regarding how his diagnosis might impact his dreams ...

Two dads of T1D daughters, on a podcast, trying to figure it all out.
This episode is a little rough around the edges, as the Dads wholly embraced live streaming and listener interaction. It was fun...but maybe it's something we do just every now and then?! Never the less, the gamut got run once more, as Alan and Mark considered what our 'new normal' (does anyone like that phrase?!) looks like?

Two dads of T1D daughters, on a podcast, trying to figure it all out.
Alan and Mark, two men with faces for radio, unwisely decide to livestream an episode for the first time! If you're listening to this via podcast, smart move. You don't have to deal with the visuals. But you can at least enjoy the different energy that being able to see one another generated from the show hosts.

Alan and Mark are REUNITED...and it feels so good! After the Dads recorded their separate group podcasts with other T1D pod hosts, finally the pair are back together again.
The guys run the gamut as they play catch-up, covering such diverse topics as the financial markets, the cost of insulin, tele-Endo visits, gardening, cooking, hiking, whittling, and what the u...

A few months back, we stumbled across a comic book published by a company called Revolve Comics centered around a character with Type 1 Diabetes. Then we found another issue! Researching Revolve Comics further, we got wind of a 3rd issue soon to be released. Needless to say, we were intrigued!

THIS IS A REPOST FROM AN EPISODE ORIGINALLY RELEASED JANUARY 10, 2019
Not a DaD ep as such, but a special 'extra'. Alan and Mark were invited to join Jeremy Collins on his excellent 'Podcasts We Listen To' show, to discuss 'Dads and Diabetes'; how our pod came about, where we see the show going, dealing with diabetes daily, and Jeremy shares out why DaD resonated personally with him.

In this bumper-sized year-ending episode, Alan and Mark talk about several topics that have touched our T1D community the past few weeks.
