Episode 38: We Love Being Dads

Welcome back to another episode of Conversation on Tap! In this episode, Jose interviewed Ramon Campoamor from the Dad's Podcast Project, who joined Jose to discuss the joys-- and struggles-- of parenthood. Unfortunately, Joel was dealing with a family issue and could not be present for the interview, but he was able to record the beginning and end of the episode. Let's please keep Joel and his family in our prayers for good health!

As they started the episode, Joel and Jose poured a delicious glass of SoCal Kooks by Humble Sea Brewing Company.

For their FRED Talks, Jose talked about the Vatican's Devil's Advocate, while Joel quizzed Jose about some mind blowing facts presented by Life Hacker.

As Jose began the interview with Ramon, they talked about the health of Ramon's daughter, who recently had to have an MRI. They also discussed the state of society whereby both parents have to work and have an income, even though many families would prefer to have one of the parents stay home to raise their children. They also had an amusing chat about being competitive with your children-- and not letting them win. They also talked about the rise of the anti-vaccination hipsters who are ignorantly causing the return of long defeated diseases, such as measles. It was such a great conversation about being a parent, especially a parent who has to find time to record, edit, and publish Podcast episodes!

In the final segment, Joel gushed about a band called Sault, which he discovered through NPR. Jose encouraged folks to check out the new Podcast from America Magazine's Michael O'Loughlin entitled Plague: Untold Stories of Aids and the Catholic Church. Check it out!

That's all for this week, but keep up with the Podcast by following us on Facebook and Instagram. And be sure to follow Ramon's Podcast wherever you listen to Podcasts!
