(FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) After 25 years in the entertainment industry writing, directing, and producing video games, animations, interactive narratives, and audio projects (see: Electronic Arts, Broken Saints, The Cat’s Maw, and Buddha and the S**t — plus a win at the Sundance Film Festival), DADBOD lands as more than just a mid-life singer/songwriter flex. No, this is the legend of an incredible boy, the man who was transformed by his love, and the kind of bond that comes around once-in-a-million-lifetimes.

And if you've been stalking the Twitter and FB feeds, then you know what's gotta drop first, right? THERE'S A SWANKY NEW PODCAST COMING TO TOWN...

Hey friends — time to fill you in on the ups, downs, and all-arounds of this workaday wanderer. Such is the life of a digital nomad, right? And with the holiday season looming like some red-nosed and tinsel-toothed beast, I'd better get on that shit now before 2016 swallows me whole (with extra gravy)...
