15 Minutes with Dad

Lirec Williams keeps things tight. Each episode of 15 Minutes with Dad runs between 11 and 21 minutes, which makes it one of the most time-efficient parenting podcasts you will find. But do not mistake brevity for lack of depth -- Lirec packs real substance into every episode, drawing from his expertise in parenting, personal growth, and leadership. The show centers on emotional presence as the foundation of good fathering. Lirec talks a lot about co-parenting communication, triggers and trauma responses, breaking generational cycles, and the specific ways fathers can build trust with their children through consistency and emotional availability. Recent episodes have covered how predictability creates safety for kids, how men can unlearn harmful conditioning around masculinity, and the silent partner syndrome that erodes relationships from the inside. With 79 episodes and a near-daily release schedule, the back catalog is growing fast. The format is mostly solo -- Lirec sharing insights and frameworks in a direct, no-filler style -- with occasional guest conversations mixed in. His delivery is calm and grounded, like a mentor who has seen enough to know that yelling about change never actually produces it. The 5.0-star rating reflects a small but dedicated audience. The show's real strength is its accessibility: if you have a fifteen-minute window during lunch or while walking the dog, you can listen to a complete episode and walk away with something actionable. For dads who are specifically working through co-parenting dynamics, emotional regulation, or the aftermath of a separation, Lirec's focused approach offers more practical value per minute than most hour-long shows manage.
