For the…

Episode 36: The Best of The UnDad Podcast

Sorta. I lost some episodes. I collected as most as I could. This is a month in the making. We are all sick. I’ve notified the authorities. Much love to all and more EPs coming regularly.

Episode 32: The Questioneer

In this episode, Trent answers the many, many questions that his rabid fanbase* sent in to him.

The UnDad Podcast EP 20: I have a ghost in my head and I call it Garglemax

Fatherview: Ryan Jespersen

I first met Ryan…actually, I  can’t remember. I remember when I met Kari (she interviewed me for a play I wrote called Book On Tape), but Ryan…it was probably in a social setting. There was probably some liquid bread. We probably had a very in depth conversation about something that we immediately forgot afterwards. Anyway….

Itchy trigger Fringer
