These two dads trade in their standard parental duties to dive headfirst into the world of literature, not literally because water and books should ne'er mix. They tackle everything from the books they lovingly read to their daughters, to nostalgic classics from their own childhood, and even the modern reads their daughters love so much that they just had to read them too.

It’s not "story time"; but rather a candid exploration of their personal connections to some over-researched, dangerous to read, and profoundly artistic books (both in the writing and art) combined with their genuine, unfiltered perspectives as parents (and completely unprofessional art critics). Be warned, however. The conversational nature of the show means you should expect plenty of hilarious, semi-insightful, and completely random discussions sparked by the pages they reread.
Join us, and remember things: if you ask about preparation, we'll tell you homework is for school! And, be careful what you say, because if you mention anything ridiculous, it' very likely that it shan't be cut in post. And when it's over, it's over.
