About the show
Dads, not experts.
We're regular guys, trying to do this fatherhood thing the right way, and not pretending we've got it all together.
The show
What is Dad Weight?
Dad Weight is a podcast about the load fathers carry, and what it looks like to carry it well.
Every episode is an honest conversation about faith, marriage, kids, work, and the pressure to hold it all together. No pretending, no polished answers. Just dads talking straight, leaning on faith, and encouraging each other to keep showing up.
Dad Weight is hosted by JW Cox, Philipp Hoeltermann, and Chris Henely.
The name comes from a simple idea: some weight we were never meant to hold, and some is worth every pound. We're here to tell the difference.
