Life in the Dad Lane is a candid and heartfelt check-in between host Ed Placencia and first-time dad Lane Compton. Each episode follows Lane's journey into fatherhood—celebrating the wins, laughing through the chaos, and uncovering the unexpected Diaper Diaries that come with life as a new parent.
It's 14 months of being a first-time dad and this week Lane talks with Ed about baby's first steps, changing the number of naps, another trip under his belt, embracing music, a list of spoken words, learning to let your child just…play and of course, another entry in the Diaper Diaries.
