A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The episode with Stefanos Sifandos is GOLD! GET A FRIEND is the best advice ever. The thing that happened to us doesn’t have to shape our define us. Honesty and integrity, giving yourself some grace, all great info. Saving this episode and sharing it with the masses.

Gavin Messerly · Jul 2026

This is one of my all-time favorite podcasts. The way Larry over-delivers every single time is incredible, and the guests bring real value. If you're a Dad, I could not recommend this show more - I wish I would have found this podcast sooner. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking to become a better provider, protector, and parent. Thanks for everything you do, Larry - Sam Rosenberg

SR0804 · Jul 2026

It’s really cool to have a dedicated podcast for fathers raising sons. The topics are awesome. On any given episode the chapters are very on point. I like that it’s unscripted and not a monologue style podcast, and it’s more of an interview style. Genuine! I think my only concern is that some episodes seem very low energy like the people being interviewed are not engaging. I’m listening to a recent episode where the host had to repeat his question to get opinions of the guests who sound like they nodded off, and the host had to repeat his question more firmly and the response was like “uuuum…” Then, the host asked another question and said “I don’t want to hear crickets this time.” Sleepy sounding voices are not that engaging. Overall I think it’s a great show to put out there for dads raising kids, and I listen to certain parts with my wife and teenage sons Jane we are driving around.

Crayon2 · May 2026

The Dad Edge podcast has been a game changer for me. Larry brings real, honest conversations about fatherhood, personal growth, and showing up better as a man. Highly recommend for any dad who wants to level up.
