That Tracks Podcast With Tim and Nick
That Tracks Podcast was born out of a bond that two dads formed in being fathers, traveling with their families, and discussing theme parks. Both Nick and Tim live in Central Florida and are surrounded by some of the most iconic theme parks in the world! Tim, aka @thetimtracker, is a YouTube vlogger and Nick, @thethemeparkdad, has his own social media channels. We both cover theme parks and travel through our channels, with a whole lot of influence of our lives in being fathers. This podcast has been designed to discuss all of that. From silly and inspiring moments of fatherhood, to theme park news, and even covering questions from all of you, we are here to discuss it all. You never know where the rollercoaster that is life will take you and we are here to talk about it! That tracks, right?
