“What a delight to listen to all these different men really engage with this topic. As a Mum of two young adults (1 male / 1 female) our family has already negotiated many of the issues discussed but you are ALWAYS a parent and I find these podcasts both inspiring and fun. With so many people...”Read full review »

“I’m sorry but the latest season is just elitist problems. Seriously when your latest guest said their 2 year old behaves different when they have spent two days with the nanny.
This podcast has moved away from dads giving their advice and is nothing relatable.”

“Wish I’d found this podcast earlier. Being a dad of 2 boys, 4 & 6, every day is a challenge emotionally both for them and for me. The concepts and insights shared by Hamish’s guests and himself bring home realities as to how I have reacted at times and potential impacts to my kids! Awesome...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast!! Some really vulnerable conversations that are facinating to listen to.
Seems to be a lot of feedback that everyone interviewed is too famous or privileged and Hamish should speak to ‘normal dads’. I personally don’t share that criticism. The stories so far have been varied...”Read full review »

“Wow so much to learn from these privileged famous dads who have never had to worry about money. How do they possibly manage to be good fathers.
Get some real dads a platform to be able to speak freely about their issues, fears and overall experiences as fathers. These privileged little turds...”Read full review »

Thankyou so much Hammer I’ve listens to you and Andy for years...”Read full review »

However, all the dads on the show are superstars or well known people of status in...”Read full review »
