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
We are always striving to be better but thank you for all of the kind words.
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.

DBD podcasts often provide interesting and intelligent conversation about a variety of topics. The conversations are often thought provoking and has the natural flow of conversations between lifelong friends.
