Cast of Dads: Podcast #9 – “Valentine’s Day” (Massacre?)

Cast of Dads: Podcast #7 – “We Were ALL Morons!”
We got some great user feedback on some of our previous podcasts that we were geeking out a bit too much. Since we listen to our audience, in this episode, we tried to eliminate most (if not all) of the tech and focus more on being a dad and a parent. Episode #7 of the Cast of Dads podcast is…
