Mother’s Day & More from the Dads’ Perspective – “Mother’s Day Grossout” – Cast of Dads Podcast #18
Yes, we pro-actively recorded a special Mother’s Day podcast (#18) on Cast of Dads, but of course, being men, we are a bit behind on getting it out for everyone to listen to and enjoy. No matter! It’s the thought that counts, right? Happy belated Mother’s Day! We, as always, had a lively discussion about […]
iPhone App “Am I Done?” Answers THAT Exact Question When Your Kids Ask You It
Part of a parent’s role is to ensure that your kids brush their teeth well, take a shower or bath, clean their rooms, or just simply wash their hands. Most of the time, when you ask your kids to do these tasks, they wave a toothbrush within a few inches of their teeth, splash some […]
What Makes Men Cry & Other Things – “Crying & Candy Cigarettes” – Cast of Dads Podcast #17
Even though it seems that we took a week off from our regular podcast (really, we try our best to make these weekly), we were still able to pick up right where we left off with the usual daddy and parenting banter that has become a regular feature of our Cast of Dads podcast. I […]
“From One End To The Other” (Literally) – Cast of Dads Podcast #16
From one end of the pool to the other? Nope! From the end of the universe and back again? Hardly! Let’s think about the main thing that kids seem to do…a lot…eat from one end and then send it out the other. Well, we had a lot of fun on Episode #16 of the Cast […]
How to Become a Kid Again – Get a New Gadget!
People have been searching for the Fountain of Youth for ever, the magic elixir that will keep them perpetually young. I hate to disappoint them, there really is no such thing. Youth comes from within, from your soul, your heart and your mind. If you want to be young, you will be. Conversely, you want […]
iFrogz EarPolution CS40 Headphones – Get Your Beats On!
I have been searching for some comfortable headphones for my pre-teen daughters. We started with some iFrogz Tadpole headphones (below) which were really great when my daughters were little…but as they got bigger, so did their heads…in more that one way. Size wise, we needed something to accommodate their expanding craniums. And, on the flipside, […]
Renaming Cast of Dads Podcast #15 to the “iPadcast of Dads” – “iPad, Kindles & VCRs OH MY!”
The Cast of Dads recorded podcast #15 (“iPad, Kindles & VCRs – Oh My!“) the day the iPad was available to purchase. Only one of us (CC) actually had one to play with, but the rest of the Cast of Dads definitely had a lot to say about this new, potentially disruptive (in many ways) […]
How To Fix the Failing US Education System – Commission-based Compensation for Teachers
I just had a “brilliant” idea on how to fix the failing US Education System. Well, perhaps not brilliant but hopefully thought-provoking. I don’t think that it would or could ever be implemented but I really think we need to start thinking outside the box in order to re-position the US globally in so many […]
Who Lays Down the Law in YOUR Family? – Cast of Dads Podcast #12
Discipline in the family is never an easy topic to talk about, especially when setting the rules or enforcing them. And it seems that every family has a different approach to implementing these rules. This was the main topic that we discussed in the Cast of Dads Podcast #12 titled “Discipline“. One thing that we […]
Cast of Dads: Podcast #10 – “Kids Online & How To Do It Right”
In this tenth episode of the Cast of Dads podcast we discussed a very important topic that all parents should seriously be considering, that of educating your children about the various social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace. This is particularly personal to me as my oldest daughter (a “tweenager” – pre-teen) is starting to […]
Cast of Dads: Podcast #9 – “Valentine’s Day” (Massacre?)
So it is pretty obvious to me that I’m not the only guy who struggles during the romantic times of Valentine’s Day. For Episode #9 of Cast of Dads, we decided that it would be appropriate to record our podcast on Valentine’s Day itself. Well, it proved to be an interesting podcast filled with awkward […]
