About the Show

Dad & son, doing nothing in particular.

Father & Son duo get together to discuss the hilarious things that happen in their day to day life. This podcast will help you experience a wide range of emotions, but humor and laughter will definitely win the day! You'll be able to see life through a talkative teenager and laugh with a modern day Homer Simpson. Kind of like TV show Seinfeld - this podcast is about nothing - but the stories and camaraderie make you glad you spent the time listening.
Who's behind the mic
Cats in the Cradle is hosted by Josh Haldeman and his son Jonathan Haldeman. Each episode they swap the funny, awkward, and wonderfully ordinary stories from their week — from road trips and tournaments to dictionary updates and gas station regrets.
How it started
It began with Jonathan. He started listening to comedy and storytelling podcasts, and before long he was telling his own jokes and stories about the everyday things that happen in our lives. He has always made me laugh, so we decided to start a podcast of our own. We had two reasons: to make other people laugh, and to keep a record of this time for our family.
Thank you to our thousands of listeners (listens). We're grateful for every single one.
