This episode is very late, I know! Things have been a bit hectic. Motivation has been low. But alas, better late than never. Please enjoy getting to know me a little bit better with this first edition of Storytime.

After striking out with my first two interviewee hopefuls, I shifted my focus inward between the walls of my own house. Today on the Dad Den Sessions, I sit down for a two-way interview with my 12-year-old son, Charlie.

On this, the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, I present to you the sounds of a summer rainstorm over the birthplace of its principal author, Thomas Jefferson.

Shadwell: Where It All Started

As it turns out, June 17 is an absolutely fascinating day in history with many important births, deaths, and events taking place within its hours. Even in my own personal life, two very memorable events took place on June 17. So go ahead and press play, and enjoy a little trip through the history of the day that is, and was, June 17.

Some pics from my own June 17 history:

This week on the Dad Den Sessions, we take our second dive into a little batch of hypotheticals, with angry squirrels make another appearance! Our guest questioner today is none other than anonymous fictional historical romantasy character, all the way from sunny (?) Scotland!

What will the Wheel of Reckoning give us for next week's episode? Stay tuned 'til the end to find out!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! And happy Summer Solstice to everyone else.

This week on the Dad Den Sessions, we travel up to New England to discover and discuss one-star reviews from establishments in Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Maine. Buckle up while we dive into some unlucky (and perhaps sometimes unhinged) individuals' miserable experiences!

This week on the Dad Den Sessions, our most defiantly boring episode to date! Prepare to be lulled dangerously close to sleep as a random white middle-aged suburban dad shallowly discusses his favorite television shows of all time. What this guy wouldn't do for a perfectly matched co-host to volley takes with! In the meantime, down that caffeine and try to stay awake as this episode somehow nearly manages to cross the one-hour mark.

On this episode of the Dad Den Sessions I discuss the eventful week that was (and do a bit of denkeeping), before heading west to call out some terrible (and occasionally upsetting) one-star reviews from Nevada, California, and Arizona.

This week on the Dad Den Sessions, I tackle my first batch of would-you-rather questions as presented to me by a very special guest, while producer Blanche chimes in with some opinions of her own.

Wondering what the Wheel of Reckoning looks like in person? Wonder no more!

Then it's on to the main course: a very special interview from 1997 with my late grandparents, Art (1914-2006) and his wife Elfrieda (1915-2010).
