Velcro from the subreddit and discord joins us to offer a much-valued parent’s perspective on child rearing from the perspective of someone who’s actually reared children. Jace was out looking at tiny houses (it’s a thing, they’re adorable/awesome and you should google it) and was unable to make it for this episode.

We’ve talked about kid/young adult things for like 2 months now. We’ll find something very different for a change of pace next episode. 🙂

The subreddit can be found here

Velcro mentioned that cool talk. It was great and you can check it out here: Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture
