In season one of New Dad's Guide to being a Zaddy we spoke with Sam Stahl about basic approaches dads could use to feel more confident styling their hair.  For part two we knew we had to have Sam back but also knew we had to go bigger. So we brought back another fan favorite Katelyn Bendix from our single mom episode to help go through Uncle Tickles closet and find the heat and skeletons.  Katelyn uses her years as an ultra successful stylist to some of Hollywoods elite to help elevate the dad look to a new level. This is a great episode to listen to but an even better to watch so head over to the TKOK Podcast Network Youtube Channel and give it a gander.

In today's episode of New Dad we speak with Keith Gessen about his newest book Raising Raffi.  Keith was raised in Russia, has written for the New Yorker and Atlantic, teaches at Columbia University's prestigious graduate school of journalism, and most importantly is the father of two wonderful boys.     In today's interview we talk a lot about his book Raising Raffi and why I felt it resonated with me and explore what it means to be today's New Dad.   Keith is exceptionally intelligent and well spoken in one of New Dad's best episodes yet.

We are joined by gun violence prevention activist Megan Kavarkis in our latest episode.  We talk about what and where you can get involved, misconceptions about gun violence, and hear some of Megan's experiences working with both law makers as well as the loved ones of victims to gun violence.   This is an important episode that we are very proud of.  Head over to our facebook group for a list of links to the organizations we talk about in this episode.

After a small hiatus Uncle Tickles is back answering some of the questions listeners have sent as well as sharing some stories from the Tickle Monsters!

In this week's episode Uncle Tickles talks to entrepreneur, home schooler, hoodrat, and longtime single parent (but no longer!) Katelyn Bends about her fascinating life and all its twists, turns, and unexpected places it has led her.   This episode is an immediate favorite of the TKOK Network its full of humor and heart and is one you cannot miss!

In today's episode we are joined by author, convention organizer, webcast host, step mother, and more Tara Lynne to talk about her recent and rather unexpected journey to becoming a parent and the challenges and joy it has brought her.   We talk about that as well as her love for a certain western themed video game, how that love lead her down this unexpected path, how her first year on the job as evil step mom has faired, and much much more.  

Uncle Tickles tries out a few nicknames for his fandom, takes you on a quick spin of the last year in his (and his family's) life, and gives a heartfelt account of his mom's passing in this quick little intro into Season 2 of New Dad

Uncle Tickles is joined by the host of History of Westeros Aziz Al-Doory and the Chieftan and Volva of the Hels Gate Heathen Kindred River Shannon to talk about their lives and what made them unusual (if there is even such thing as unusual anymore).  In part one we learn quite a bit about the childhoods of River and Aziz and how their parents either succeeded or failed and sometimes both at providing stability and consistency at home despite the non-traditional circumstances.

Dad, toymaker, music festival organizer, and all around beautiful person Peter Greenley (otherwise known as Jesus Pete) joins Uncle Tickles and the New Dad audience to speak about his life, toys and making them, raising a teen daughter, organizing a music festival, and the time he was given a special power from a titan in the toy industry.  Tune in to find out what that special power was and whether it worked!
