Dad TALKS

Episode 10 | Two Parts per Half Million Were you aware this was a podcast? Hey, what’s a pod — No worries, Tina and Andrew have all the meta-answers on the wildly popular platform that ultimately just consists of people talking — and why podcasting provides a refuge of substantive connection and digital wellness in an internet sea of vapidity. Also, Andrew reveals to Charlotte that they’ve actually been recording this whole time. There may be over half a million podcasts, but Tina and Andrew have actually spent over 500,000 seconds scripting/recording/editing ‘Dad Talks’

Episode 9 | Shuffle Yo Alexa, turn it up! Kick off the jams with Tina and Andrew —who harmonize about the utter vitality of music for all of humanity, but especially for children. From cello prodigies to ‘The Floss’ to the hallowed realm of bedtime songs, this episode features some deep cuts. And —Charlotte tells Andrew the truth about what she thinks of his taste in music.  Who needs Beats by Dre when you have Beats by Moana?

Episode 8 | Mutation From attention deficit to compromised vision to cancer, Tina and Andrew delve into our ever-changing physiology due to tech, particularly that of post-Millennials. Expect the authority of statistical research on Tina’s end while Andrew chimes in with anecdotal insights. And it should be remembered: mutation is not intrinsically negative, and as tech changes us, our culture needs to adjust accordingly. Char, as a post-Millennial, has more in common with this bionic rave sheep than she does with Baby Boomers.

Episode 7 | Public Parental Crisis Hey parents, you know when your child is totally losing their mind when you’re out and about and all you get are glares and stares? Yes, so do we. Tina and Andrew talk of the general lack of empathy from strangers when parents are struggling — but also how sometimes people can surprise you for the better.  And Char shares the secret for diffusing tantrums – comedy.

Welcome to “Because I Said So” Version 2.0 — what is the value of parental knowledge in the Internet age? Tina and Andrew decode how the illusion that “mom and dad know everything” is getting demystified even sooner than before. And Char gets posed the classic question, “Who knows more, Daddy or a multi-billion dollar tech conglomerate?”
