The Modern Dads Podcast

We're telling the stories of modern dads. These are the guys that are not only involved in their children's lives, but active and engaged in the decisions, the drudgery, the pain, and the joys of parenthood. We know modern dads are out there, and they come in all stripes. With each episode, we'll talk about the issues modern dads are facing as we try to navigate work, parenthood, relationships, and play.
