While Dylan’s away, the at-home dads will play! A lone Phil welcomes Danny and Brock from Home Dad Chat, the official podcast of the National At Home Dad Network, to talk about all the autumnal family traditions we get to share with our families. We get into rustic soups, break out the power tools for some pumpkin carving, and ask “How you like them apples?” We like them a lot. They’re Macintosh. Pop on a light jacket, grab a bushel, and take a walk through the orchard of fatherhood!

Grab your towel and stick out that thumb, Dylan and Phil are taking a cue from Douglas Adams and reflecting on life, their kids’ expanding view of the universe, and what it all means. Learn how, in Evanston, trees (much like petunias) just fall from the sky. Be in awe as the kids befriend the most alien creatures Museum Campus has to offer. And reflect on the deep, philosophical questions only a 6 year old could ask. And whatever you do- DON’T PANIC!

Episode 39: Harry Potter and the Death of the Author

Hop On Pop Culture ·

2025/04/29

“The Death of the Author” is a 1967 essay by French literary critic, Roland Barthes, that “emphasizes the primacy of each individual reader's interpretation of the work over any "definitive" meaning intended by the author”. It also sounds like a Harry Potter book title, and in this episode Dylan and Phil tackle the tangled web of being in a fandom with a toxic, bigoted creator. This conversation isn’t about the Harry Potter franchise content, but rather the challenge of separating the artist from
