Episode 43 - Interview w/ Fred Weaver

Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! This week, the dads are joined by a fellow dad who moshes, Fred Weaver. Fred has been holding it down in the Birmingham, Alabama scene for decades now. Fred is a staple at Furnace Fest, and has a ton of love for FF and hope for its future. The dads talk about the stress of hauling a camping trailer, Jesse looking like Yukon Cornelius, and what it's like to overcome bad examples of fatherhood to be the best dad you can be.
