Can I ask what dndads is? :0

Ofc, lovebird! Buckle in, bc this is gonna be a LOT.

Dndads is short for Dungeons & Daddies (not a BDSM podcast) and it's a D&D podcast centered around dads and their relationships with their kids! Five very talented writers/actors roleplay as dads (or teens, depending on the season) and explore themes of fatherhood, identity, and intergenerational trauma, alongside a metric fuckton of dad jokes and media references.

There's currently 2 seasons up, and they're both absolutely fantastic imo!

The first centers around 4 dads who get transported into a fantasy world on their way to their sons' soccer game. The only trouble is all of the kids ended up disappearing in the shift, so it turns into a quest to find their lost sons and get back to the normal world. It's a really fun fantasy-comedy type of vibe and dad jokes are a constant. This season is completely finished, with 69 episodes total.

The second season timeskips a generation and follows the grandkids of the original dads as they attempt to navigate high school, uncover some family secrets, and repair what went wrong after the events of season 1. While it's still very comedic, this season is a little darker thematically - there's a bit more of an existential horror element to it, which is fun! This season is still ongoing, but as of now there are 28 episodes (episode 28 just came out yesterday!).

The episodes typically clock in between an hour to an hour and a half long, and it does a really good job of pulling you in (I say, having listened to all of s1 within the span of 3 weeks or so). If you wanna give it a listen, you can find dndads on Spotify or wherever else you prefer to listen to podcasts!

This was probably a WAY longer response then necessary, but! Tldr dndads is simultaneously one of the funniest and most emotionally devastating pieces of media I've gotten into in quite awhile and it's about some rowdy dads, their rowdy kids, and their rowdy grandkids getting up to shenanigans and rolling dice. It's a lot of fun and I'm physically incapable of shutting up about it :DDD
