PODRE is a podcast for people who are dads, people who have dads, people who don’t have dads, people who have seen films with dads in them, as well as step-dads, sugar dads, rad dads, ghost dads, the dad-curious, & the dad-adjacent. Writer, professor, and father-of-two Chris Brunt tells stories harrowing and hilarious from his family life, and interviews high-profile guests from the worlds of literature, film & theater, and academia. Regular segments include “Bad Dads” with historian Brad Franco, the conferring of the distinguished “Not-A-Terrible-Father-In-This-One-Instance Award,” and frequent unscripted contributions from the host’s maximally energetic children.
