A podcast from a dad who's still trying to figure it all out in time for his son being old enough to start asking the questions.
Getting back into the swing of things, a bit more motivated now that autumn approaches. Recorded on Wednesday 14th of September. Future episodes will be videos and will be available also at https://vimeo.com/user184807113 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/notesfromdadtoson/message

This episode is basically an update since last time, and an effort to get things going again on a regular basis. It's the first episode in ages that I've worked on with my laptop and without using my phone app, so yaaay...new intro and outro music. A half hour ramble before getting ready for work. It's the start of a new season....so consider this season 6. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/notesfromdadtoson/message
Surprise. I still ain't dead. It's been quite a while since last episode, and who knows when the next one will be. I don't want to have a podcast where covid keeps coming up, but sadly that's the lense through which the world is presently seen. I just need to get over that I suppose and stop letting that suck out the motivation. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/notesfromdadtoson/message
