OUT NOW - Tyler Pickering (Chixdiggit!, The Ramblin’ Ambassadors)

🎄 MERRY CHIXMAS! 🎄Tyler Pickering is the drummer for Calgary 🇨🇦 icons as well as instrumental surf rock powerhouse The 👉 In the lead-up to Chixdiggit’s annual holiday bash CHIXMAS (where both bands are playing!), Tyler stopped by to share stories about being a rad dad to daughters Maisie and Sloane.

Tyler expressed how creativity is important in his family, and how he and his partner foster that at home, even channeling some strategies his parents used with him as a kid. Tyler goes on to describe how proud it makes him seeing his kids create things. 🥹

We talked about some of the challenges transitioning to parenthood, and Tyler told us about some difficult choices he had to make, since he was playing in 5 bands at the time he became a dad. We also shared strategies for addressing cursing/swear words at home, and for answering difficult questions the kids throw at us.

And of course we got the deets on CHIXMAS, which is on December 23 in Calgary at - and it’s an early show so all you rad dads can go and still make it home in time for bedtime with the kids. 🔥 Limited Chix tix are still available at the link in our bio! 🔥

📻 This episode is out now wherever you listen to podcasts, or you can watch it on YouTube! And don’t forget to go back and listen to our other interviews with Chixdiggit! Bandmates KJ and Billy

🎆 This is our last episode for 2023 so Merry Chixmas and Happy New Year, and thanks for all your support this year!

⚡️Look what just landed at Rad Dads HQ⚡️ The sequel to rad dad Waubgeshig Rice’s ‘Moon of the Crusted Snow’!

To say I can’t wait to dive deeper into the story of Evan, Nicole, Maiingan, and Nangohns as they navigate the end of the world as they know it…is a major understatement. 💜

Congratulations on this huge achievement, AND on the new addition to your family - baby Odjig - earlier this year!

Go pick up this book NOW and maybe it’s a good time to revisit our interview with Waub back in 2021!

OUT NOW - Mark deSalvo (Illustrator/Artist)
⚡️⚡️⚡️
Take a browse through your punk rock CD or LP collection, and it’s bound to contain at least a few of Mark deSalvo’s works. Yep, he’s the guy responsible for the cover art for iconic records like Let’s Talk About Feelings 👓 , Heavy Petting Zoo 🐑 , and most recently Gets Strung Out 🎻. He’s also done covers for Limp, , , , , several compilations, and so many more. In fact, his works are on display in a special exhibit at Las Vegas’ right now, until the end of October! If you’re headed to it’s the perfect time to stop by and check out this amazing collection of art that has left a lasting mark (dad joke alert!) on the punk rock world. Don’t forget to get some deSalvo flash at 💪

Mark is also a dad to two children, Bluma and Wiley, and proudly proclaims himself a member of the “Old Dads Club”. He had kids later in life, but explains how he wouldn’t have been a rad dad if he had children at a younger age. On that note, Mark had a great fertility testing story to share. We also talked about navigating our kids learning curse words (and hiding our laughter when they use them), and the joy we get out of seeing them show their individuality.

Mark also dove into his diagnosis of throat cancer a couple of years ago. Thankfully he is in complete remission now! 🏆 Mark described how he and his family coped with the stress and fears that went along with diagnosis and treatment and the bumpy road back to “normal” after treatment was finished. But Mark found the silver linings and described how his daughter Bluma accompanied him to his treatments and they shared some special moments painting rocks for the cancer centre together. ♥️

This is a good one! Go listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube! Links in bio.

Thanks to as always 💜

A big happy birthday to Bill Stevenson, drummer and songwriter for and ALL, founder of and rad dad to Miles and Maddie🤘 🥁 🔊

Bill was on the show way back in 2020 (interview from late 2019) and it’s still one of our favourite episodes. In that interview he spoke about just getting his son his first guitar, and now Miles is killing it in and - a chip off the old block. And that’s just one of the big family developments…Maybe it’s time to get Bill back on the show for a part 2! 🤔

Join us in wishing our favourite a very happy birthday! 🥳

OUT NOW on THE RAD DADS SHOW!
Jarred Cooper & Brendan Scholz (Mercy Music, NOT)
⚡️⚡️⚡️
Jarred and Brendan are longtime friends as well as bandmates in Las Vegas-based and Descendents/ALL homage project . Both bands released new records this year that have become fast favourites at Rad Dads HQ. And of course, they’re both parents - Jarred to Violet (and another daughter on the way!) and Brendan to Cecilia, Riot, and Bee - and the duo stopped by to chat about what it really means to be a rad dad.

In this interview we cover:
⚡️The importance of communication with your partner
⚡️Parenting skills coming surprisingly naturally
⚡️Work-band-family balance on the road
⚡️The joys of embarrassing our kids
⚡️Resisting knee-jerk reactions as a parent
⚡️Helping our kids make decisions about their hobbies and activities
⚡️Mercy Music’s new record, and getting a chance at redemption at
⚡️What’s next for NOT and our mutual love for ALL
⚡️…and so much more!

🎙️And when Brendan's internet went out, Jarred took over the show, turning the tables and putting Brett in the hotseat 😂

🔊 Listen to the episode wherever you get your podcasts or watch it on YouTube. Links are in the bio.
