For many geeks, the true March Madness is the trippy trip to Austin, Texas for South By Southwest (SXSW).  Last year, fellow Cast of Dads dad C.C. Chapman and I had the pleasure of visiting the DadLabs Studios, where Daddy Brad (Brad Powell) and his paternal posse produce their short fatherhood flicks.  This year we convened with Brad again, but instead of the studios we set up shop upstairs in a cafe that served both beer and coffee! Take that Starbucks!  We missed having our full quintet of dads together, but we did manage to record a video episode of 3/5th of Cast of Dads.  Between the beer and the coffee our energy level was high, and I apologize in advance for letting rip the “s” word at least once.  Yep, I said shit.  Whoops… did it again.  Enjoy the show!

Cast of Dads is a group of podcasting and blogging dads who gather to gab about fatherhood. The cast of dads includes C.C. Chapman, Jeffrey Sass, Max Kalehoff, Michael Sheehan, and Brad Powell, who collectively represent 13 kids from the youngest of babies to full grown adults. Each of them brings a unique perspective to being a father.

Jeff Sass is the proud dad of ZEO (Zach, 22, Ethan, 20 and Olivia, 19).  He is also a seasoned entertainment and technology exec and active social media enthusiast.  You can see more of Jeff’s writing at Sassholes! and Social Networking Rehab and you can listen to Jeff on the Cast of Dads podcast.
