This Manic Mama is back with an interview with the raddest of dads Tomas Moniz about his award winning zine and book Rad Dad: Dispatches from the Frontiers of Fatherhood.

It wasn’t only that I didn’t know who she was anymore; I didn’t know who I was as a parent either. What happened to being the cool mom who understood the independent teenage spirit?

This Manic Mama talks to documentary filmmaker Suzan Beraza about her most excellent films Uranium Drive-In (2012), and Bag It (2010).

Thanks to you, I'm afraid of hemorrhoids, unpasteurized goat cheese, coffee, sleeping on my back, doing Zumba, and eating any kind of sliced lunch meat (actually the latter is probably a blessing). Fear has become my constant companion, whispering savage things (not suitable for your undeveloped ears yet) about all that could go wrong. Get used to it, your Grandma says. Welcome to parenthood.

This was an altogether excellent and first-rate child. As her mother, I could not allow her to lose her mind. It was my parental responsibility to protect her from dangerous delusions, and it appeared to me that this Tooth Fairy business had gotten completely out of hand. I needed to set her straight before any more damage was done.

Mike Park has been on the punk scene for twenty-five years, keeping it real and selling over 1,000,000 albums from a label located in his parents garage. Rocker, impresario, indie music heavyweight, and now a proud dad: This Manic Mama talks to Mike about parenting, music, and his new album SMILE.
