About This Podcast

The Are We Bad Dads? podcast is a podcast with a head for history and a heart for fatherhood. Three regular guys start out talking about their favorite popular history books, and always end up at fatherhood. Aaron, (author, IT Director, and father of four), Dave (high school US history teacher and father of four), and Mateo, (graphic designer and father of two) consider how they match up to some of the greatest men in history, laugh at each others’ expense, and try to answer that nagging question, “Are We Bad Dads?”
