Raising Kids And Rocking Out | Rick Robles on Shoe Biters Music + Fatherhood

from Modern Dadhood | Unpacking Fatherhood + Parenting for Dads (and Moms!) · host Adam Flaherty, Marc Checket, Spencer Albee, Caspar Babypants, Chris Ballew, Rick Robles

Ever heard a voice so familiar you’d swear it lives in your living room? That voice might just belong to our guest, Rick Robles. Rick isn’t just a celebrated voiceover artist—he’s also a dad of two and the creative force behind Shoe Biters, a ‘90s-inspired animated rock band for kids. We dive into how Rick’s work has evolved from playful songs for his two young boys to a fully developed animated world and gigs at elementary schools around the country. Topics include: •  How becoming a dad inspired Rick  to create a '90s-inspired kids' rock band and animated series. •  The journey from writing simple, personal songs for his kids to developing a full-fledged world with storylines, characters, and positive messages. •  Collaborating creatively with friends and family—including the influence of Rick's wife, a behavioral therapist, on integrating social-emotional learning into music. •  Using live music, videos, and school assemblies to connect with kids and teach values like resilience, perseverance, and empathy. •  Reflections on the challenges and rewards of family road trips, parenting young kids, and navigating sibling dynamics. •  The real value of modeling behavior, showing vulnerability, and self-reflection as a parent. •  And more!LINKSShoe Biters (official)Shoe Biters (YouTube)Rick Robles VoiceoverPointmadeAdamFlaherty.tvStuffed Animal (Marc's kids' music)Modern Dadhood (website)DEATH AND (YouTube)This Headache Journey (Apple Podcasts)Caspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeMD (Instagram)MD (Facebook)MD (YouTube)MD (TikTok) #moderndadhood #fatherhood #parenthood #parenting #parentingpodcast #dadding #dadpodcast
