Episode 378: Sometimes Daddy Cries, With Guest Todd Rennebohm
Biz speaks with Todd Rennebohm about his new children’s book about living with depression while parenting. Having depression is normal and having kids is normal, but having both at the same time can be hard to explain to kids. Plus we recorded this episode before the election! Let’s see if our prediction was correct? (Our prediction was that we’d be glad we had all that stashed Halloween candy.)
