Great perspective on parenting!
There are so many "mommy" podcasts out there, that it was great to run across this one from the dad perspective, and what a great perspective it is! The hosts are charismatic and delightful, and the conversation free-flowing and honest. Great commentary on the joys, struggles, and hilarity that comes with being a dad. Looking forward to hearing more!

Now *this* is just fun
I'm not a parent. I'm not a man. Yet I love this podcast. The guys seems to genuinely enjoy their conversations, and they mesh well together. Their love for their kids is apparent and that's what a parenting podcast should really convey (even though we know that some days are just harder than others). Disclaimer: I started listening simply because I *knew of* one dad and his kids through internet infamy. Now I'm interested in all of their families.

Earlier episodes very good
I used to really enjoy this podcast. The earlier episodes were just what I needed as a first-time Dad who was looking for advice or commiseration. It is out of respect for the helpfulness of those early episodes that I'm giving three stars. Because these guys have lost the plot, and the current iteration of the show is not worth three stars. It's bad enough that they only talk about their kids about every other episode these days (the rest is techie discussions or, lately, the election). Speaking of the election, though, the last episode before the election was over the top just bashing one candidate and his supporters. I'm not one of them, but it's not what I'm tuning in for. Then, the latest episode consisted of the hosts alternating between techie talk and heavy-sighing their depressed way through a step-by-step recounting of their election night "nightmare." Enough already. Unsubscribed.

Funny!
I look forward to this podcast every week. I find all 3 hosts to be funny and relatable. Keep up the good work!

Nerdery + Parenthood
You never know what you’re going to get, and that’s a good thing. I’m not sure if I love it more when the guys talk about fatherhood, or when they don’t talk parenting at all. Point is, they have fantastic rapport and they’re always good company, whatever the topic. Also: Waiting for the return of Brian.

Used to be good.
Do yourself a favor and just listen to the older podcasts. At some point these guys lost any focus they had with this project and now the podcast is about three dudes talking mostly about nothing and not in a delightful Jerry Seinfeld sort of way. Too bad.

Not Just for Dads
I'm a mom of a 9-month old and I look forward to new episodes of this podcast. Not only do I often laugh out loud at some of the comments (especially the inappropriate ones), but I really enjoy hearing a different perspective about parenting. Congrats, dads - you're doing a great job.

Rambling
I really tried to like this podcast but it’s just not very good. There’s some funny moments and there’s interesting moments but at least half of the time they’re just rambling. Also, the audio quality is pretty bad.

Great podcast for new dads
Perfect podcast for nee dads. Funny, entertaining, and educational for any dad still trying to learn the ropes!

That Theme Song
Definitely one of my favorite theme songs…that alone gets it 5 stars from me.

Great Podcast!
I’m a single mother of one and love the podcast. The guys are all very funny and it’s great to hear men talking about fatherhood. After discovering the podcast I’ve been binging and have finally caught up. Recommended.

Things to look forward to
I absolutely love this show. I’m a new father with a 15 month old, so most of the topics that come up on the show aren’t directly what I’m experiencing right now, but I will be sooner than I think! I’m writing all of your advice down. Though I don’t think I’m going to be buying an Elmo costume… that may be too much! Keep up the great work, guys!

Witty, acerbic, hilarious
You’ve got three very different dads on the show. Moltz has one kid, one he and his wife adopted. Lex has three kids and is the classic dad with too much on his plate that handles it anyway. Then Armstrong is the co-parenting dad, although he’s from a very famous household where the Internet knew about his vasectomy. All are very smart and funny, and they’re willing to lay it out there. It’s a lot of fun.

Fun, smart, unpretentious, and not too heavy
It’s the right balance between being educational and grown-up. Love it.

The best Dad podcast out there
Thank you SO MUCH for this. I am a work at home Dad and I can relate to almost everything you guys discuss. Keep this up. I love it.

Excellent Podcast
This podcast started not long after we had our first child, so I basically had to start listening to it. Great podcast - a lot of fun to listen to, I love hearing all the parenting stories. We are younger parents than most, so we don't have a lot of parent friends - this may be filling that void to some extent. Thanks for creating this, guys! @mknepprath

I Really Wanted To Like This, But...
I had high hopes for this podcast beasue of John Moltz, but after listening to a number of episodes, I can't recommend it. Aside from the poor production quality, it's hard for the average father to relate to discussions of nanny management. Finally, I was offended by the gratuitous anti-Catholic comment that could easily have been edited out, but that they instead called attention to." ("We'll be hearing about that...") Too bad.

Refreshing
I don't often hear a lot of parenting talk from the perspective of dads so I find this podcast very refreshing. Loving all the topics so far :)

This Show is Great Fun
As Dad to a 5 year old with #2 on the way, this show hits very close to home. I’ve listened to the first 3 episodes in rapid succession and look forward to more. The only real downside to this podcast is that I can’t sit down with the guys and join in the conversation.

Fun guys + good dads
Nice to hear other perspectives on parenting.

Dads on kids
Chuck filled with happy banter about the things parents learn to handle. This is like a aural parenting therapy session.

Just the podcast for me
So, I have two kids adopted from China and my diabetic dog requires twice-a-day insulin injections. I realize that, with the explosive growth of podcasting these days, it’s possible to find one very narrowly tailored to a person’s specific interests, but this is ridiculous. (Seriously, though, this podcast is highly entertaining and I highly recommend it, whether you have kids or diabetic dogs, or not.)
