Description

Nostalgia, man. It can be brought on by an errant lego or a beloved movie. A longing affection for days gone by can be nearly overwhelming, especially when we catch our own children staring, transfixed at a Matchbox car. For Adam and Marc, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are a catalyst for a nostalgic trip. In this special, partly live episode, our hosts meet with Steve Lavigne, one of the original TMNT artists, to talk about his experiences and, of course, nostalgia.Episode 14 finds Adam and Marc on stage at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, NH after a screening of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, to moderate a Q&A with TMNT comic artist Steve Lavigne. Between the on-stage portion and a pre-event conversation in the green room, Steve shares stories about his long history with Turtles creators Eastman and Laird, and the many incredible opportunities that his involvement in the Ninja Turtles franchise has presented. Topics of conversation include:•  The birth and early days of the Turtles•  The people who inspired the characters•  Steve’s reaction to seeing his artwork translated to live action cinema•  Being on the set of the film•  Meeting Jim Henson•  Visiting Henson’s Creature Shop in London•  How Steve’s children felt about the Turtles growing up•  What inspired Steve to get into comic illustrationThe guys continue to discuss the allure of revisiting things from our past, and share comments from their favorite “dad” group about nostalgic movies, items, and experiences other dads are excited to share with their kids.DADS: We’re working on an episode on DAD JOKES.

Modern Dadhood is an ongoing conversation about the joys, challenges, and general insanity of being a dad in this moment. The interview show is hosted by Adam Flaherty and Marc Checket, two devoted 30-something dads who are certainly not fatherhood experts, but do share indisputable chemistry and a zest for parenting. Guests from all walks of life speak candidly on a wide range of fatherhood themes, and listeners can expect a healthy dose of laughter, sincerity, dad jokes, and 90s nostalgia in each half hour episode.
