Ep 1 : The Gray Hair & Day Care Podcast: Embracing Fatherhood Later in Life
Welcome to the Gray Hair and Day Care podcast, a space for older dads and anyone interested in the unique challenges and joys of fatherhood later in life. I'm Frank, a 55-year-old dad-to-be, and I'm joined by my co-host Carlo, a seasoned father with two grown children.
Why We Started This Podcast
The idea for this podcast came to me as I was navigating the uncharted waters of impending fatherhood. With a combined age of 111 years, Carlo and I bring a unique perspective to the parenting game. We wanted to create a platform where we could share our experiences, learn from each other, and connect with other dads – young and old – who are on a similar journey.
