Are we too distracted to feel awe anymore?

from Dads in Real Life Podcast · host Robert & Travis

We’re back after a quick spring break—and as always, Travis kicks things off with a Trader Joe’s review, this time featuring Beer Bread 🍺🍞. From there, it’s straight into real-life dad talk: Why holidays sometimes feel like more work than school days A random (but surprisingly useful) Chrome household pro-tip And the chaos of getting back into routine after time off Then the conversation shifts to something bigger… 🚀 Space, Awe, and What’s Changed Travis shares his excitement around Artemis II and the idea of traveling to the moon and back. But that leads to a deeper question: Why doesn’t it feel as mind-blowing as it should? Robert reflects on growing up during a time when moments like the moon landing captured everyone’s attention—when there was less noise, more anticipation, and real awe. Today? 📱 Endless content ⚡ Instant access ⏳ No waiting, no boredom They unpack: How information overload has changed the way we experience big moments Why kids today may never feel the same anticipation and wonder The loss of delayed gratification And what it means for us as parents trying to raise kids in this environment They wrap up by looking ahead—because despite it all, the idea of space travel becoming accessible is still something worth being excited about.
