Podcast documenting a year in the life of a dad (Troy), 3rd grader (Henry), and kindergartener (Owen) navigating the absurdities, challenges, and (hopefully) successes of virtual, hybrid, and in-person education during the pandemic. Episodes feature answers to the age-old question: "what did you do at school today?"
A few quick questions about why parents started to worry about where there kids are and when they'll be home for dinner. P.S. We know America's Most Wanted is for the criminals, not the kids.

Funny Food
Two guests of the podcast dish with Henry and Troy about virtual vs. in-person education—where “you get to do more things of course”; what’s good to eat in their neck of the woods; a plea to “give us the money for advertising”; and Lebanon bologna as an example of food you can’t get near you.
