Dad’s First Words: Trailer — Home Birth Stories From New Dads

Before the birth of my little girl, I couldn’t find any podcasts for new dads. Most were for fathers already years into the journey—dealing with teenagers, school, big kid challenges. But nothing about the raw early questions: What’s it like when your whole life suddenly shifts? What do you actually do before, during and after the birth? And seriously—what even is colostrum?

So I decided to make one myself. Not another advice show, but real stories. I sat down with dads at every stage—some with decades of experience, others just days in—to hear what fatherhood really feels like in those first moments.

Each conversation is unique, but they all share one thing in common: every dad I spoke to has been part of a home birth. Even if that’s not your path—or you’re still on the fence—you’ll find plenty of insight, reassurance and honesty in these chats.

This is Dad’s First Words.
