Diapers For Two
What happens when you become a dad again in your 50s, but this time with three grown kids already out in the world?
Diapers for Two tells true stories about family, aging, identity, and the emotional math of fatherhood. Hosted by Dan Shimmerman, a dad raising a toddler while navigating life with three adult children, the show blends humor, heart, and quiet reflection. It’s about second chances, small rituals, and finding meaning in moments most people overlook.
At its core, it’s about what it means to keep showing up for the people you love, across decades, mistakes, and second chances.

E6: Motorboat Legs and Other Victories
Dan returns to the toddler swim class.. this time as a much older, slightly soggier dad. From laminated emotion cards to “mindful kicks,” the world of early childhood sports has changed. But somewhere between the foam balls and bubble songs, he finds something deeper: a second act of parenting where joy matters more than form. With sharp wit and heartfelt reflection, this episode explores how sports, silliness, and showing up can turn even the smallest splash into something that lasts.
