The Dads

In this episode Laura Broderick discusses the book DAD (Untold Stories of Fatherhood, Love, Mental Health and Masculinity) with Will Blatherwick, history teacher and dad of two.

The conversation is structured around our thoughts on the book (with an emphasis on work and parenting) and audio contributions from two other dads who have read the book alongside us. Music in the episode is by Ros Fraser.

DAD is curated by Elliott Rae and is a collection of stories from dads in the Music Football Fatherhood (MFF) platform.

Music Football Fatherhood | For dads who want more open conversations around fatherhood - Music.Football.Fatherhood - open conversations around fatherhood

The book DAD is a call for open conversations around fatherhood. Founder of MFF, Elliott Rae, regularly works with organisations and staff networks to help support working fathers and parents, and work towards equal parenting and gender equality, through workshops and talks.

I enjoyed reading DAD, having an open conversation with Will and hopefully connecting with more dads through the Mother of All Solutions podcast. If you enjoyed the episode please do subscribe to Mother of All Solutions on your favourite podcast app and listen back to past MOAS episodes.

This episode is in memory of my friend Sègun Akingbola – he loved open conversations and he loved being a dad.
