Comedy EN ↓ 100 episodes

Welcome to Dad Jeans, the podcast of, by, for and about dadding in this infant century number twenty-one. Brought to you by two men—the formerly hip Jeffrey Dinsmore and formerly happening Brendan Hughes—who now have relatively young children and are sorting out what it is that has happened to their lives. Each week we survey what the mommy blogs are saying, the ways in which we have failed our children, how we are trying desperately to remain cool, great moments in the history of fatherhood, and close as always with unsolicited fatherly advice.
