Fatherhood Begins Here with Austin Wade (aka @austintherappingdad) Ep 14
Episode #14: Austin Wade aka @AustintheRappingDad
MomsWork … and DadsWork Too!
Welcome to a milestone episode of MomsWork … and DadsWork Too! 🎙️
In this very first dad-focused conversation, host Kristin Weinrich expands the podcast to include fathers’ voices—because parenting is a partnership, and dads’ perspectives matter.
Kristin is joined by Austin Wade, a first-time dad, husband, marketing and digital strategy professional, content creator, and the internet sensation better known as @AustinTheRappingDad. What started as a silly way to make his newborn son smile—rapping classic children’s books—quickly turned into a viral phenomenon that resonated with parents everywhere.
In this episode, Kristin and Austin dive into the realities of early fatherhood, the steep learning curve of becoming a parent, and how creativity can unexpectedly thrive in the most exhausted seasons of life. Austin opens up about his first 100 days as a dad, the surprises that came with welcoming a baby, and the assumptions people often make about new fathers.
You’ll hear honest reflections on:
•What the early days of fatherhood really feel like
•The joys and challenges of becoming a dad for the first time
•How creativity and parenting intersect
•Balancing presence at home with professional and creative goals
•Why dads’ voices belong in conversations about family life
The episode also features a Win & Challenge of the Week, where both Kristin and Austin share personal and professional highs and lows, plus a fun rapid-fire round of questions that lets listeners get to know Austin beyond The Rapping Dad persona.
Whether you’re a mom, dad, or parent-to-be, this episode offers humor, honesty, and encouragement for anyone navigating the beautiful chaos of early parenthood.
