Episode 22: Boys Adventure Stories Are Back | Chris Dinote of Raconteur Press

This week Chris Dinote, Editor-in-Chief of the Boys Adventure division at Raconteur Press, joins Brian and Dave. We talk about why classic boys adventure stories largely disappeared, what boys actually want to read (and have wanted for over a century), and why "stories of men doing dangerous things far from home" still matter. Chris shares how Raconteur Press is deliberately bringing that tradition back, what they're seeing from young readers, and why good fiction is one of the best tools parents have for building resilience, virtue, and real literacy in their kids. We also wander into Tolkien, Samwise vs Conan, rites of passage, and why most modern kids' books fall short. Live every Thursday at 8:00 PM Mountain Time. 👉 www.unhingeddadspod.com Find Raconteur Press: https://raconteurpress.com Follow their Substack for open calls and new releases. #BoysAdventure #RaisingBoys #Fatherhood #RaconteurPress #DadLife #UnhingedDads #ChildrensLiterature
