Hi Pod! I'm Dad.

James Guttman

Hi Pod! I’m Dad is where I talk through fatherhood while raising a son with autism who does not speak.

Some episodes are about joy and connection. Others are about exhaustion, fear, patience, and the quiet moments that never make it into awareness campaigns. Everything you hear here comes from real mornings, real mistakes, and a deep love for my kids.

There is no takeaway. Just one dad saying the things he usually keeps to himself.
