It is an easy listening show

It is an easy listening show without instructions. Ideas, opinions, topics that are not easily discussed even in the family or between friends. Good to listen.

Not what I expected

I as a father of two children expected a different approach to the narrative. It just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Weak

There’s a reason this is free, seems thrown together on the weekend. Terribly weak...hallucinations from marijuana? You lost all credibility.

Terrible

Not only did the form of this “narrative” cause repressed memories to emerge, it worsened my depression and led to a belief in self destructive behaviour as being “OK”.

I nearly ruined my marriage while my wife was pregnant. Do not read or listen to this if you have any mental health issues at all. And maybe just don’t bother.

Excellent!

Very insightful series dealing with real social issues that cause every parent to worry. Lots of good tips on how to approach and think about dealing with certain topics such as porn and drugs.

Their is plenty of humor to keep the listener entertained as well.

Highly recommended!

Very interesting modern take on fatherhood.

A great list of topics to expand your thinking or kickstart the process on the role of the father in this modern era.
