  • Happy #InternationalPodcastDay

    Powerful example of community! These guys have a brilliant habit of talking about the things others don’t. So many issues that come with the role of being a father that don’t get air time anywhere else. Like to think of myself as a self anointed Dope Black Dad

  • adoption and other podcasts

    there is some very good content in these podcasts. I’ve realised too late in life, that my friends discussed nothing about anything, and had no interest in my well being, other than events alcohol and jokes. We just never discussed anything that might have been any way useful in our future lives.

    i don’t agree that there is shame associated with adoption. but i can understand why they say this.

  • Voices of positivity

    As a black dad, and acutely aware of the prejudice about us being absent, I find this podcast really positive and encouraging. The chemistry as well as vulnerability shown by the hosts is uplifting.
