It's YOU that I like

It's YOU that I like

Hey everyone, This is my contribution to the world amidst all of the horror and struggle that we've been feeling as of late.  I know that it's not a solution or a contribution monetarily, but simply a warm voice and beacon of hope.  I desperately hope that this makes SOMEONE, ANYONE feel a little better and more alight in this ever darkening world.  Thank you!

Hey everyone, with the COVID-19 already depressing us, i thought that it would be fun to lighten up the mood and do some good ole' fashioned listing of one of my favorite movie franchises of all time.  Let me know your thoughts on how I did or if you wanna get into a Hulk sized debate over these, get at me on my twitter!

Hope everyone enjoys!

If you answered yes to any of those questions, give a listen to our show!  This week, we talk about an interesting experience that happened to Dad and our take on it.

Impeachment...featuring our first guest speaker!

Impeachment...featuring our first guest speaker!

Hey everybody!  We're back with episode 10, a huge milestone for Dad and I and we're only picking up steam!  Today, we're talking about what's on everyone's mind, and that's the impeachment process that is going on right now down in Washington.  But we're very excited to welcome our first guest speaker, John Dean, a local Democratic party official, to offer his thoughts on what's been going on, and what he expects to see going forward.  We definitely have alot to say today!

(I'm very sorry, there is about 45 seconds or so of dead air that I couldn't edit out, but it's mostly when I talk so you're not missing much!)

Thanks everyone!  We're still looking for feedback so you know where to send it, DanandDadpodcast@gmail.com!

Enjoy everyone!  and please have a pleasant tomorrow!

Green New Deal!

Green New Deal!

Hey everyone!  We're approaching a milestone in podcasting, they say once you get over 10 episodes, you're gravy from there (no one says that!), well this is epidsode 9 and we're gaining steam.  We're talking today about the green new deal, a similar proposal to one that a very famous president made in 1933.  This episode has everything...a little history, a little opinion, and mix in a little bit of how this deal sits for both Dad and myself and see where our priorities lie. 

Thanks!

We're still looking for responses and feedback to our opinions!  Please tell us what YOU think, and we will talk about it on the air.  Afraid of leaving your name?  We can always keep you anonymous, just make sure and tell us that is your wish in the email!  Please let us know at dananddadpodcast@gmail.com

Thanks again!

The fate of the planet is in our hands!

The fate of the planet is in our hands!

Hey listeners, welcome to Episode 8 of Dan and Dad Podcast!  We're excited to talk about something that Dad and I are very passionate about today, because we both live on the very rock that is being affected by it, we're talking about sustainable energy.  Sustainable energy is no longer just a term hippies use and should be discarded as quickly.  What's happening to our planet by the use of fossil fuels is very real and should not be disregarded so easily, so why not talk about some problems with that industry and some alternative options!

Thanks for the support everyone and we hope to hear your feedback and thoughts on the show!

We can be reached via email at DanandDadpodcast@gmail.com

We can be heard pretty much anywhere you can get podcasts, including Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, Radio Public, Breaker, Overcast, and more!  If you're feeling generous, go on those sites, and leave us a rating and review!

See ya next week!

Government...this choice is up to you!

Government...this choice is up to you!

Hey Everyone!

After a short, 2-week vacation in which i was sick, Dan and Dad Podcast is back with a brand new episode!  

You always hear people argue back and forth today about...government...one says we need it, the other says "ahhh throw it out, its old, and we don't need Big Brother watching us"

Well, like the title says, that is up to you, but we can all agree, there is some corruption happening, and Dad and I will be shining a light on some of it for the next 30 minutes.  Come join us and hopefully it will help you make up your own mind.

Also, for sharp-eared people, a hint to our next episode is near the end!  Enjoy!

Check us out in the usual spots:  Anchor, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or Spotify, also anywhere else you can listen to podcasts, including Overcast and now Breaker!

Thanks for the support!
