Hey community! It’s been a minute, but Dad Guild’s podcast, Modern Pop, is now available for your listening pleasure on Apple, Spotify, SoundCloud, and Stitcher, with more platforms coming soon. Click one of those links for the platform of your choice!
In this first episode, we talk about the transition into fatherhood, and the joys, stresses, and all the other feels that come along with it. We also hear from a local dad about his personal journey. |
If you’re a fan of men being vulnerable and having real conversations about fatherhood, then this podcast is for you. Huge thank you to the Vermont Community Foundation for the support in making this happen. More episodes coming soon!

Welcome to Dad GuildFounded in 2019, Dad Guild is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization formed to create a supportive network for new fathers in the greater Burlington, VT region. We offer opportunities for dads to connect with one another, share their experiences, model positive father engagement, and advocate for parental equality.
Currently, Dad Guild supports a network of over 500 fathers of young children in the Burlington, VT area. We have established relationships with over two dozen different community partners, have connected with folks across the state, and have attracted over 200 dads to come out to in-person and virtual events. Dad Guild does not discriminate, and is open to any person who identifies as a dad and/or is interested in fatherhood topics. Spread the good word.
