Coping With Grief: Men, Death, and Humor on the Dead Dads Podcast
How to cope with losing your dad: Scott and Roger share honest stories about grief, father loss, and why talking about it can make the pain easier to carry.
Most men don’t talk about it. And when they do, it usually isn’t with laughter.
In this introduction to Dead Dads, Scott and Roger explain why they started a podcast about losing your dad, grief, and how men actually deal with it. After realizing there aren’t many places where guys can openly talk about the death of a father, they decided to create one themselves.
Dead Dads is a place where men can talk honestly about grief, loss, memories of their dads, and the strange moments that come after someone who shaped your life is gone. Some conversations are serious. Some are reflective. Some are unexpectedly funny.
Scott and Roger believe that talking about grief helps. Whether it’s with a therapist, a friend, or even a stranger who’s been through the same thing, sharing stories about your dad can make the weight a little easier to carry.
If you’ve experienced losing your dad, father loss, or the death of a parent, this podcast is for you.
Sometimes grief needs silence.
Sometimes it needs conversation.
Sometimes it needs a laugh.
We have it all.

Chapter 1: Meet Scott and Roger

Chapter 4: Why men need a place to talk about losing their dads
0:20 We're here because there's really not a lot of great places for men to talk about grief and to talk about their experience when their father dies. And you and I were chatting one day and we thought to ourselves, we should start a podcast because you and I love to talk.
Chapter 5: Talking helps grief
0:32 We love to learn. We love to chat with other guys.
0:34 Yeah. We're ready to try and see if this makes the grief a little bit easier because one thing we've learned is that grief is different for absolutely everybody and uh,
