About This Podcast

The Cheer Dad Podcast Cheer stories. Laughs. Real dad life. From the carpool to the comp floor, The Cheer Dad Podcast is your backstage pass to the wild world of All Star cheer—through the eyes of two proud cheer dads. With over 15 years of combined experience, hosts Alex and Jerry bring you real talk, hard-earned wisdom, and a whole lot of laughs from life on the sidelines. Whether you’re packing last-minute bows, learning the difference between Level 2 and Level 6, or cheering your athlete through the season’s highs and lows—this show is for you. Each episode dives into stories from the mat, comp recaps, interviews with other cheer parents and coaches, and the stuff no one tells you when you first become a cheer dad. It’s spirit. It’s chaos. It’s glitter in your truck forever. Welcome to The Cheer Dad Podcast—where we always hit zero (or at least try). This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy
