About this episode
Parenthood can feel like a never-ending carpool. But every so often, buried somewhere in the immense haystack of putrid adolescent laundry, you step on a spiritual needle… and experience a satori.
Diaries of a Dance Dad is a podcast about raising three daughters, Jeff Krasno's beloved estrogen footprint. These essays are harrowing and hilarious in equal measure. They will make you laugh. They will make you cry. And they will remind you that the mundane is, in fact, miraculous.
Each week, Jeff reads directly from his collection stories excavated from the deepest rough, polished into something worth carrying. Fatherhood, marriage, the slow surrender of control, the shock of being loved - all of it lives here.
Jeff Krasno is the co-founder of Commune and host of the Commune podcast. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife Schuyler and three daughters who do not listen to him but never fail to imitate him.
