A New Podcast Breaks the Silence Around Grief, One Darkly Honest Story at a Time

They dropped my dead dad in the funeral home.

That sentence, as surreal as it sounds, became the spark for Dead Dads, a new podcast created by Roger Nairn (co-founder of JAR Podcast Solutions) and Scott Cunningham that tackles grief and all the messiness that comes with it.

In the moment, Roger felt like either yelling, crying, or just laying down on the floor.

What followed was a realization that stories like this are everywhere, dark, awkward, wildly inappropriate, and unforgettable.

They have been happening to men who have lost their fathers for generations.

But are rarely spoken about.

Instead, these moments get swallowed, cleaned up, and buried alongside the feelings that come with them.

Dead Dads exists to challenge that silence.

The podcast is not about moving on fixing grief, it’s about letting it sit down at the table and offering it a beer.

Its about saying the quiet parts out loud, to an audience that absolutely knows what you’re feeling.

Each episode blends uncomfortable humor with honest reflection on loss, juggling family life, memory, and the strange moments no one prepares guys for.

The podcast is not about moving on fixing grief.

Its about saying the quiet parts out loud.

If you’ve lost your dad, are confused about your grief, or you are carrying a story you have never shared, this show was made for you.

Dead Dads launches today on all major podcast platforms, including YouTube.

Listeners are encouraged to share the show with someone who might need to hear it.

Love you, Dad.
