Welcome back to another episode of Child of Dog! Join Stephen and Ben for a conversation focused on child rearing, including topics such as: the hosts' middle-of-the-road curiosity about "parenting from the past," balancing analog and digital, protection versus exposure, homeschooling, progress, resilience, and how all of these topics inevitably relate to dog training and therapy.

After a brief and unplanned hiatus - and without their trusty producer Vas - Stephen and Ben return to the studio for another great episode! The boys recount Ben's birthday celebration in NYC, Stephen's recent and powerful experience with a cadaver dissection training, the hosts' relative experience with death and the question of what lies after, shutting off from grief, covenants with the universe, Jewish mysticism, channeling, and Izakaya beef tongue. An eclectic mix as always! Please like and subscribe, leave a review, and reach out with any questions, comments, or constructive criticism; we love hearing from our small-yet-growing fanbase!

Today’s episode is a shorter, more somber one, focused on the life and death of Charlie Kirk. As young thinkers, fathers, and fellow humans, Stephen and Ben address the incident that has shaken the country, and share honest reflections about hope, optimism, free speech, community, globalism versus localism, mortality, and the future of humanity.
