DOD125: Teaching Our Kids To Read Good
Eli has been teaching Max to read... OR HAS HE. Max is an amazing reader already and the dads talk about how their kids learn anything and whether or not it is, in fact, magic. Then for reasons that will likely come out in litigation, Tom and Eli hijack the show to talk about books. Thomas is filing suit and cannot comment further about this episode at the current time.

Customer Reviews
Great reflection of being a dad
Great show, about progressive fathers. Was the start to listening to the rest of their podcasts. Great balance of humor and topics that are growth focused. Enjoyable and thoughtful.
My favorite podcast
I am a child-free woman, yet this is my favorite podcast.
10/10 Recommend…
…and I’m not a dad. I’m going through the backlog and listening to every single episode. Each one has at least a single nugget of truth or wisdom that I can apply to my life, even as a woman without children. Often there’s humor, sometimes childhood anecdotes, and frequently there are truths.
Note to the Dads:
The episodes regarding mental illness really made me stop and think about my and my partner’s health and how we take responsibility for things in our relationship and friendships. Thank you for your insights and helping me put my thoughts into words that I can take into a conversation.
