This podcast came out of the year that my dad died very unexpectedly. I love Ego a lot, and this podcast brought me a lot of comfort and joy when I really needed to unpack my complicated feelings about my dad. Season two seems to have done away with the entire Thanks Dad premise entirely. I understand, expanding the guest list to not include only dads. But I really miss the conversation with each guest about their relationship with their dad and its impact as the heart of the podcast now it’s tr... more
Quickly becoming my new favorite podcast. I love Ego’s interviews — they are so balanced, fun, and thoughtful.
Hey Ego so glad you brought the podcast back for season 2 and I’m going to miss you on SNL. I listened to the first episode with Heidi and was entertained but also confused.Season 1 you had celebrity dads come on and tell their journey into fatherhood and their relationships with their dad. As a new dad I loved it the premise and listened faithfully every Monday. But season 2 I guess you are getting more into people you are thankful for? Anyways really liked the old format and thought it was uni... more
Ego is so funny, entertaining, and engaging. I’m so happy for this podcast and hope for more and more of it.
Without listening you get 4/5 for being on GMM. Love the concept. Please get R&L on SNL and it’ll be 5/5 🤣😘
