Description

Eric Anderson and Micah Brenner are the Story Dads, subjected to never ending repetitions of children's movies, these conversations are how they cope. Eric is a licensed and practicing MFT and Micah is a freelance illustrator and writer. They bring their disparate perspectives to the analysis and pick these things apart for probably way too long and with too much detail but here we are and so it goes. Submitted for your approval, The Story Dads.
