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.

This week the Gaming Dads dove into PalWorld to report on the biggest recent game launch and how it may play into your family gaming. Spoiler, it's a bunch of fun.
We also feature a story sent into us by gaming dad Chad who's son came down with a suspicious "illness" once he set up a Minecraft server for them. A gaming dad story we know all too well.

This week the dads review the silly low prices that "Old" SteamDecks are selling for. Jeff would use his for Diablo 4, but they capped his level at 20, but he may just use it for his 4th purchase of Fallout 3 or New Vegas.
