Dead Dads
The Dead Dads Podcast covers everything that comes after the funeral. We talk about the stuff people usually skip: the paperwork marathons, the password-protected iPads, and the grief that hits you in the middle of a visit to the hardware store.
Hosted by Roger Nairn and Scott Cunningham, it’s a show for men figuring out life without a dad—one uncomfortable, occasionally hilarious conversation at a time.
About the Hosts
Host
Roger Nairn is a dad, a husband, and the co-host of Dead Dads. He’s also the co-founder and CEO of JAR Podcast Solutions, where he helps brands tell better stories. After losing his father, Roger started this show to talk honestly about what comes next. The grief, the absurdity, the paperwork, and the parts most men don’t say out loud.
Host
Scott Cunningham is a dad, a husband, and the co-host of Dead Dads. He recently lost his father and, like Roger, is trying to make sense of what that actually means in real life. This show is his way of talking through the grief, the confusion, the dark humor, and the moments that don’t fit neatly into a eulogy.
