The Love That Binds
Hey out there. The holidays are over. The New Year has begun and the Evolution of Dad marches onward. There’s really so much to do. I had the greatest luck while in Boston to go to a Celtics game and not only watch the team trounce its rival but also that I happened to be… Continue Reading
The Eviction of Eloise

To War or Not To War

Evo Dad Podcast – By Director Dana Glazer
A few weeks back I had the pleasure of being the guest on a podcast with Stefan Korn from New Zealand-based Internationaldad.com. Stefan certainly knows the bigger issues about dads and it was a real pleasure speaking with him. The sound quality (from my end) is a trifle muffled but I hope you enjoy it!
