> Dead Dads podcasts vets guests differently — no PR pitches, no polished bios. Here

Most grief content sounds like it was workshopped by a wellness brand. The arc is familiar: loss happens, darkness follows, then a turning point arrives, and finally — insight. The guest has processed their pain into a packaged story with a message at the end. It's tidy. It's reassuring. And for a lot of men who've lost their fathers, it sounds nothing like their actual life.

Dead Dads was built specifically for the conversations that happen after the casseroles stop coming. That means the guest selection process has to work differently from the start.
