  • I appreciate this podcast

    If you have any guests on the show, you should put their name FIRST in the description of the episode. Sometimes you can’t even see that there’s a guest until you click on the episode. The Charlie Breen episode was almost overlooked by me because all you can only see is the first few words of the episode description.

    I appreciate your realistic and humorous views on parenting! Good job! Big fan of all the Nateland podcast.

  • Funny, relatable

    This has come to be one of my favorite podcasts. They never try to push their views on you, they are just sharing their experiences. BTW if you haven’t read Dustin’s book it is a great read!
