For this week’s DadChat, we have a special guest: Jack Forman, who’s been on before and who is now helping produce the show while Nate navigates the alpine labyrinth of Swiss bureaucracy. And in this episode, Jack discusses his experience as a former elementary school teacher, and what the oft-discussed ‘back to school’ period is like for teachers and school staff. We very much hope you enjoy it!

Nate’s finally moved to yet another country even further from Indiana, and for this week’s episode he and Francis discuss the travails of being the single member of your family who speaks the language of the country you’re in, the inevitability of your kids making fun of you for speaking that language badly, and much more.

The Zoo Crew is back for this month's Deadliest Warrior. It's our first group on group battle with modern weapons. Come for the ballistics knife and stay as we speculate how many war crimes each person did in Afghanistan.
This week Jack Forman joins Francis to discuss a multi week trip to various National Parks on the western seaboard. There is also advice on how to get a cat (open your door, one will eventually walk in) and how much we love to BE in the outdoors but not SLEEP in it

This is a special supplemental episode this week featuring friend of the show and investigative journalist Samantha Asumadu (@SamanthaAsumadu)
This episode continues Sam Asumadu’s interview with Tom Fowler on the topic of the Spycops inquiry, and the degree to which the British state has attempted to scuttle any and all social justice protests, while at the same time ensuring the far right has a free pass. Tom is the host of the Spycops Info Podcast, which is available here: https://spycops.info/
If you missed part 1, check it out here: https://five.libsyn.com/show/episodes/view/32524677
Spycops may not be a familiar story to American listeners, but the summarized version is: the British state has recently admitted to using secret deep-cover police to infiltrate activist groups for over 30 years, using stolen identities and encouraging officers to enter into relationships with activists (to include fathering children) only to abandon them once their mission ended.
As Sam describes in this episode, the surveillance (and sabotage of activist groups) is something still happening to this day.

For this week’s episode, we’re talking about big DIY projects and the immense feeling of accomplishment from something actually working the way it’s supposed to, especially if the process of getting there… involved some detours. Hope you enjoy!

This is a special supplemental episode this week featuring friend of the show and investigative journalist Samantha Asumadu (@SamanthaAsumadu)
In part 1 of this interview series, Sam speaks with activist and reporter Tom Fowler, who's been documenting the Spycops inquiries in the UK—and who was himself part of a group infiltrated by Spycops in the 2000s. Tom is the host of the Spycops Info Podcast, which is available here: https://spycops.info/
Spycops may not be a familiar story to American listeners, but the summarized version is: the British state has recently admitted to using secret deep-cover police to infiltrate activist groups for over 30 years, using stolen identities and encouraging officers to enter into relationships with activists (to include fathering children) only to abandon them once their mission ended.
As Tom's interview reveals, the details are even more unsettling than what's summarized above.
Part 2 will be out next week!
