    Welcome to 'Are You There Pod? It's Me, Dad'
    May 21 2024
    Welcome to Are You There Pod? It's Me, Dad. This isn't a parenting podcast. It's more like a diary about becoming a parent...in real time. Every week host Alex Ward recaps the previous week's adventures in raising a new human. Along the way he calls up his fellow freshly-babied friends to swap stories & discoveries, all in hopes of keeping an intimate record that his future kid will surely not care about.
