Celebrating our 50th Cast of Dads Podcast! “Draining the Snowblower”
It's really hard to believe that over 2 years ago, a group of dads who worked together on a project would now be celebrating their 50th podcast together! But yes, we have. Personally, I think that is a major accomplishment, especially given all of the other family and business responsibilities that tug us in each and every direction. The Cast…

“Remembering the First Time” – Cast of Dads Podcast #49 – March Madness, Expos, Bicycles & Big Wheels
Well, we cranked up the old podcaster again, this time with less time between episodes. While it may have been just me, I think we all could have used some coffee (or alcohol) to get us really into gear. But still, we always have a great time talking about just about anything that pops into our minds. Episode #49 "Remembering…

Growing a Mustache in November for #Movember (Or in my case – Facial Hair) – Men’s Cancer Awareness
Facial hair has not really been my big thing. I have sported a goatee a while back and even a "soul patch" but I always ended up shaving it off to the cheers of my wife, parents and even my kids. But for the month of November, I'm getting scruffy again but this time for a cause – to raise…

We had quite a few topics stewing to be discussed on Cast of Dads Episode #45 "Dads CAN Cook Even When Sauced". For starters, we had a conversation about a social media campaign that tried to use modern day social media tactics but using a very old and outdated stereotype, that of Dads not being able to cook and having…

He May Be Someone Else to You, But To Me, He’s Just My Dad
With Father's Day just around the corner, we are all hopefully thinking about our dads. Dads have it tough, you know, compared to moms. We don't have a clue about parenting, or so we are told regularly by our wives. And we don't have that bond with our kids the way that mom's do ("YOU didn't give birth to these…

Teenage Humor & a Father’s Day Contest – “Weiner, Junk & Tools” – Cast of Dads Podcast #42

Gifts are obviously very personal in nature so I can't tell you what to get your dad. What I can do, however, is provide some ideas on some things that might make…

Gadgets + Dads = “Dadgets” – Cast of Dads VIDEO podcast at CES 2011
The Cast of Dads has been on a bit of a vacation recently – the reality is, we've all been so busy that our little "baby" (Cast of Dads) has become a bit neglected. But we promise to get back on track! To get things going again, we actually did do a video podcast at CES 2011. Unfortunately it was…
