Simple Ken Podcast | EP 43 - Figuring Fatherhood Feat Anirban Dasgupta

I have been a big admirer of Anirban's writing for a long time. It's a shame I haven't hung out with him as much as I want to. This episode I wanted to explore a topic we seldom talk about in this episode (And not seen in most other online conversations)...being a first time dad as a millennial. Obviously having a child is primarily a mothers journey but why not talk about the clueless man next to his partner watching and wondering what does a father do in 2024? This conversation was fun, lighthearted and also quite nerdy considering the detail we go into about performing stand up comedy across the globe.
