They say “the show must go on” and this week was no exception. I am on the road for business and called in from my hotel for this week’s episode of Cast of Dads. I was in Austin, Texas to attend SXSW, and while in town, three members of our cast were able to gather at the DadLabs studios and record our first video episode (sneak peek picture below). The video show is still in “post-production” so stay tuned. Meanwhile, here is:
