Description

Does this sound familiar: You painstakingly prepare a delicious, balanced dinner. Next, you curate the food on plates in a way that definitely highlights your attention to detail. Then, finally, you set the culinary masterpiece in front of your kids to a chorus of moans and gags. Instead of a “looks delicious!” you get an “ew gross!"... Heartbreaking, right? Thankfully, there are dads like Joel Feren, accredited Nutritionist and Dietician, who are willing to drop some mealtime wisdom while commiserating right along with us. Joel—known as “The Nutrition Guy”—talks with Adam and Marc about encouraging healthy food choices and what works with his own two-year-old daughter, Ruby. After the interview, test your knowledge of 90s cereal mascots!Episode 61 of Modern Dadhood opens with a rather long, disgusting, and frankly uncalled for belch from Marc. The guys discuss their relationships with food, the eating habits of their families when they were growing up, and how they try to instill positive eating habits and food choices in their kids. The guys welcome Joel Feren into the conversation. Joel shares about diet and nutrition both from the perspective of an accredited nutritionist and dietician, and as a father of a two-year-old daughter. Joel shares colorful, fun, colorful, (and sometimes mouthwatering) photos on his Instagram channel "The Nutrition Guy" which feature some of his favorite recipes and demonstrate how he invites Ruby to participate in food preparation. The conversation covers topics such as:•  When is snacking appropriate and when is it a problem?•  Are regimented "mealtimes" important?•  The concept of "Your body knows best"•  How to incorporate your kids into the meal planning process•  The benefits of involving your kids in cooking/food prep•  What "safe foods" are•  Techniques for introducing your kids to new foods•  The best language to use when discussing "good foods" vs "bad foods"•  How to handle food and meal prep when you have a newborn•  And more!Post-interview, Marc surprises Adam with a round of "90s Cereal Mascot Trivia."

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.
