Are you a dad? Going to be a dad? You, my friend, need a laugh. Maybe some parenting advice. And perhaps an IV drip of caffeine.

The DAD Podcast is an offshoot of the DAD blog, which contains over 300 articles that are just as funny, raw and important as this podcast. Check it out at https://www.directadvicefordads.com.au/
