Dad Bodcast

22 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 days ago -

The Dad Bodcast, hosted by me, Kyle Graham, is your go-to podcast for all things “dad.” Each episode will be jam-packed with dad-hacks from all stages of dad-life, through engaging, entertaining (and often) humorous conversation. I didn’t create this poddy because I think I’m the best at it, but more so because I feel like I’ve stumbled through it and continue to stumble through it each day. Through sharing some of my own experiences as well as the experiences of others, this is a place for you to get all of your 'daddy issues' answered….. well, I’m not promising anything but this may go close to being it!
