This was first broadcast July 20th 2025, on MainFM in Castlemaine, Victoria.
In this episode of the show, Sam sits down with Luke (teacher, musician and co-coach of the rampaging Castlemaine U9s), about what we can learn about dadding and parenting from the 2003 drama/fantasy, Big Fish. Using the film’s depiction of fathering and family as their jumping-off point, the dads chat about being authentic for our family, passing traits down to our kids, and what we learnt about dadding from our own dads.
Don’t come expecting definitive answers or paths to parenting greatness. This is just two ordinary, imperfect dads getting real and having a chat.
Catch it while you can.
