Synopsis
Welcome to the Commune Dads podcast! Hosted by adder Oaks and Keegan Dunn, this podcast explores parenting and education in alternative culture. We live in an income-sharing intentional community and want to share our experience with the world. Each episode we pick a topic to discuss and do a very good job of getting off track. From those interested in hearing anecdotes about life on a commune to those wanting to hear about the challenges that all parents face, this show has something for everyone.For more information about the community in which adder and Keegan live or the intentional communities movement in general please visit:www.twinoaks.org Twin Oaks Communitywww.ic.org Fellowship for Intentional Communitywww.thefec.org Federation of Egalitarian Communities
