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!

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 […]
“Car Seats & Common Sense” Discussed by Some Punchy Dads on Cast of Dads Podcast #14
The Cast of Dads were in rare form for this podcast titled “Car Seats & Common Sense“. Maybe it was something in the air or something we drank but geez! But we were still able to offer our “sagely” parenting advise throughout the podcast. I guess that once and a while, we can let what […]

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.

Cell Phones, Tweens, Texting & Conversations – Child & Family Cellular Safety Thoughts
If you are a parent of a tween (a pre-teenager), you have probably hit the stage of your child wanting a cell phone. My wife and I broke down (or were gradually worn down) about a year ago with our oldest and she got hers when she was about 10. She wasn’t (and still isn’t) […]
