The Reality of Gay Parenting with Danny Pellegrino

About this episode

On this week’s Daddyhood, Colton and Jordan sit down with Danny Pellegrino — author, podcaster, and reality TV expert behind Everything Iconic — to talk about his reality as a new dad. From the nuances of gay parenting, setting boundaries online, the baby-name debate, and baby-led weaning, they unpack what parenthood looks like for Danny.  Colton and Jordan also ask Danny how fatherhood has shifted his perspective and creative work — and, of course, there’s some Reality TV talk. From his Mount Rushmore of all-time TV personalities to his take on Colton’s Bachelor era, it’s a thoughtful and funny conversation that bridges parenting and pop culture.
