Welcome to Please Don’t Call Me, the podcast where every episode should have been a phone call. Here I finally get my phone call-phobic dad to have a chat—no ringtone, no awkward silences, just real conversations! Each episode, we dive into both useless and useful information, laughs, and plenty of unexpected moments that come from our father-daughter chats. Whether you’re here for the dad jokes, the life lessons, or just a break from your own phone, we’re glad to have you along for the ride.
Hit play, and let’s get talking… without the call!
The hosts discuss summer plans, childhood memories, and specific propaganda they have recently encountered, exploring the subtle ways misinformation can influence beliefs in this episode.
