Season One
- Trailer: Introducing The Rock Father Podcast with James Zahn
Episode Description: More than 17 years after launching his first podcast — zahnCAST — via MySpace, Zahn returns to the podcast space with a new show in which no topic is off the table.
- Episode 1: Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself
- Episode 2: Pumpkin Everything & Fighting the “Too Soon” Crowd
This week, James Zahn discusses the not-so-early arrival of seasonal merchandise at retail — including Halloween and Christmas — and how the “too soon” crowd of complainers is back out in force. On the show, Zahn breaks down his experiences with the “too soon” crowd while working at Walmart and the late Musicland Group’s Sam Goody more than 25 years ago, and how the timeline dates back to the 1950s (see: Elvis Presley!).
Additionally, the General Mills Monster Cereals are back and Dunkin’ and Starbucks have gone pumpkin. Oh yes, it’s fall y’all!
