Actually listens and doesn’t talk over his guests. Interesting content and nuanced opinions.
Excellent conversation with Katharine Birbalsingh! I have listened to other interviews with her and kept wanting to know more about her teachers! Thanks for asking because her stories were inspiring!!
Everyone should listen to these insightful interviews. Yeah, as a dad I probably get an extra lift from the content, but they’re really just great conversations about things that matter.
I love this podcast, which is why it is so frustrating that I can’t hear it. I listen to most of my podcasts at a medium volume on very high-quality headphones (Trekz AfterShokz). I can barely hear this podcast on the road at maximum volume. The quality of the sound (when I can hear it) is great, but I usually can’t hear it. This only occurs when I listen to this podcast; I have no problems with any others. I would love it if the volume could be augmented. Thanks so much. I am a new listener, but I genuinely love this podcast.
I discovered the Dad Saves America podcast when an episode about early childhood parenting featuring an interesting guest popped up in my YouTube feed. As a parent of three, I enjoyed the episode, I was intrigued and subscribed, hoping for more content on similar topics. However, when I got in my car that same morning, I opened up my podcast app searched for the Podcast and listened to the latest episode. The episode was about Immigration and the discussion felt one sided and sensationalist. The host and guest focused on exaggerated issues, painting a picture of widespread chaos, while subtly acknowledging that these were not the majority of cases. Still the episode dwelled on these outlier problems, framing them as the core of the immigration issue. A quick glance at other recent episodes made it clear that the show had shifted focus. What started as a podcast about fatherhood had morphed into discussions on political hot topics and even conspiracy theories. I was disappointed to see the original parenting focus abandoned in favor of more controversial subjects.
