The Parent Tap

The threats are real. This is your playbook. Welcome to The Parent Tap — a Top 10 Parenting Podcast hosted by Ryan McDonough.

Your kid’s phone is a predator pipeline. AI deepfakes are exploding, and online groups target teens on Discord. No one’s coming to save them—you are.

The Parent Tap is the tactical playbook for working parents raising teens.

We cover online safety, mental health, and breaking generational trauma.

• Real threats decoded by ex-FBI agents, clinicians, & operators

• Day-one boundaries you can set immediately

• Cycle-breaking tactics to protect your home

Defend the kids. Run the house.
