Daddy Squared: The Gay Dads Podcast, Season 5 (2022-2023)

We are thrilled to be back for another season of Daddy Squared: The Gay Dads Podcast. Our goal is to learn to become better parents (and maybe better people), because hey – our kids are 6 and we’re still trying to figure out parenting.

We (Yan and Alex) created Daddy Squared, The Gay Dads Podcast in the second year of our twins’s lives because we felt a desperate sense of isolation as new parents – especially as gay men. We had friends, sure. And family. But most were either gay men without kids or straight couples. “Where’s the Gay?,” we kept asking ourselves. ״And where’s the community?״

So we decided to try and make one. Daddy Squared, more than anything else, is about companionship through the insanity that is gays starting a family and then figuring out how to be good parents while not losing themselves in the process.

To be clear: We don’t know the answers for how to do these things. We don’t know when being a gay dad is different from being a straight one, or a mom. We don’t know how to handle “Mommy and Me” and Mother’s Day. We don’t know what happens when all of a sudden all of your gay friends are asking what the F happened to you because you no longer go out with them.

We don’t know the answers to any of these things. But for 5 years we have been bringing on wonderful, warm, non-pompous-ass experts to talk about it all, and we’ve been learning from our wonderful listeners. And OCCASIONALLY we’ve actually learned something from our own little boys.

This podcast brings us so much joy, so much warmth and community. It’s fun, it’s funny (when we’ve been drinking), and we deeply hope it’s meaningful. Please join us for Season 5, go back and listen to previous seasons, and email us at Hello@DaddySQR.com about, well… anything (except stop already with the Viagra ads. We get it.)

Where’s the Gay? Here. If you join us.
