United States4 months ago - Missing the dad premise!!!
This podcast came out of the year that my dad died very unexpectedly.

Season two seems to have done away with the entire Thanks Dad premise entirely. I understand, expanding the guest list to not include only dads. But I really miss the conversation with each guest about their relationship with their dad and its impact as the heart of the podcast now it’s tr... more

Apple Podcasts4JP9227United States4 months ago - What happened to the dads!!!

As a new dad I loved it the premise and listened faithfully every Monday. But season 2 I guess you are getting more into people you are thankful for? Anyways really liked the old format and thought it was uni... more
