ABOUT THE SHOW · 2026 CHEER AWARDS BEST PODCAST
THREE DADS ONE MISSION
Cheer Dads Unfiltered started as a group text
Three friends comparing notes after competitions, laughing through travel weekends, learning scoresheets and trying to understand a sport their daughters had fallen in love with
That group text became a podcast
The podcast became a community
Today, Cheer Dads Unfiltered is the 2026 Cheer Awards Best Podcast reaching thousands of cheer families through honest conversations with the people shaping the sport. From first-time parents to Varsity executives, judges, coaches and professional athletes
We're still the same three dads learning alongside our daughters. The award just means more parents get to learn with us
THE HOSTS
Three friends. Three daughters. Three different personalities. One shared journey.

MISSION
WHY WE DO THIS
We're not experts pretending to have all the answers. We're parents learning competitive cheer in real time, right alongside the community — and sharing every lesson, laugh and lightbulb moment along the way.
Cheer Dads Unfiltered exists to help families better understand, enjoy and navigate the world of competitive cheer through honest conversations, humor and shared experience.
We're not coaches. We're not judges. We're dads. Figuring it out one season at a time and bringing every parent in the bleachers along for the ride.
