In a world that constantly criticizes and undervalues moms, FEMALE DADS podcast aims to highlight and help with a mother's journey to parenting with her own "carefree // cool // fun dad energy." Through candid conversations with special guests, truthful admissions of parenting fails and wins alike, Jessica Keenan and Heather Pasternak laugh, learn and get to neglect their children for at least this one hour a week –and at its core isn't that feminism?
Jamie Kennedy joins Jessica Keenan and Heather Pasternak to talk about why he's not a fan of the comedy hang and how the comedy world has changed over the years. Jamie shares how he used to pretend to be his own manager, while Heather reveals her own unique strategy of sending managers a photo of herself crying with the message, "I'm hilarious." Plus, they talk about true open mics, where musicians, poets, and comedians all had to share the same stage.
