New Dad Gaming | The Podcast for Gaming Dads Since 2015
Just because you became a dad doesn't mean it's game over.
New Dad Gaming is the longest-running podcast for dads who game. Hosted by Trevor Alexander and Jeff Smalley since 2015, NDG is where gaming meets fatherhood — real talk about finding game time, playing with your kids, navigating screen time, and keeping your favorite hobby alive through the chaos of raising a family.
Every week we cover the games worth your limited time, co-op picks for playing with kids, hardware that fits a dad budget, and the hilarious reality of gaming while parenting. Whether you're sneaking in 30 minutes after bedtime or building a Minecraft world with your 8-year-old, this show is for you.
380+ episodes. Two dads. One rule: Game Over is not an option.

A surprise Switch 2 drop, a blue screen of death, and Father’s Day gift loopholes - this episode has it all.
Trevor barely escapes the clutches of buying a brand-new Switch 2… but just barely. Meanwhile, Jeff’s aging Switch kicks the bucket in spectacular fashion, sparking a desperate race against time to recover lost Pokémon and Zelda saves. With Father's Day around the corner, could a little gaming “gift” be the loophole that lets these dads break their no-new-games vow?
The dads dive into:
-
The real-world temptation of walking into a store and seeing Switch 2 on the shelf
-
An unexpected $800 price tag (!!!)
-
First impressions from a dad who actually got one
-
The harsh reality of old hardware failing at the worst time
-
How to (maybe) get away with buying a game… if your kids want to play it with you 😇
If you're a dad balancing budget, backlogs, and the burning need for 120 FPS Fortnite, this one’s for you.
