The Daily Life of Frank
by Frank Mazzuca
How you doing? I’m Frank, a husband to Kate, dad to two kiddos, Lil and Leo, and petdad to two cats, Moose and Nemo, who like to give me passive-aggressive stares from the windowsill. The Daily Life of Frank is my weekly podcast where I share the chaos, comedy, and occasional existential crisis that comes with being a parent, a husband, and an average guy just trying to keep the house from spontaneously combusting.
