Our Editor's Take

Dadville with Dave Barnes and Jon McLaughlin entertains dads with stories, jokes, and lots of singing. Barnes and McLaughlin bring an undeniable charm to their podcast. The show has built a dedicated following since 2020. The comedic musicians enjoy talking with each other and their guests about what it's like to be a dad today. Their conversations result in hilarious sidebars from the hosts. They also include fascinating insights from their guests.

Barnes and McLaughlin are both prolific singer-songwriters. Barnes' music has received CMA, Grammy, and Dove awards nominations. His shows have gained notoriety for their entertainment and comedy. He also hosts the Dave's 5 Hot Takes podcast. McLaughlin has written music and recorded songs with popular artists like Demi Lovato. Beyoncé covered one of his songs on her album I Am… Sasha Fierce. He also recorded the Oscar-nominated song So Close" for the film Enchanted. Barnes and McLaughlin use their entertainment background to craft creative episodes of Dadville.

There are many sides to being a dad. Barnes and McLaughlin take time to explore each of them. They talk about topics like the 40-hour workweek and gift guides for dads. The hosts have plenty of stories to share from their own parenting journeys. They are not shy about sharing their flaws and failures in fatherhood. They also celebrate each other's parenting wins. As every dad knows, parenting is not the easiest task in the world. Dadville can help fathers feel a little less alone as they parent.
