MEET THE GOOD ENOUGH DADS: AUSSIE FATHERS TALK ABOUT THE INS, OUTS, WINS, AND LOSSES WITH MAGGIE DENT

Good Enough Dad Podcast Launches: Offering a fresh perspective on Parenting

Do you ever wonder if being a “great” dad is too tough a goal? How about being just ‘Good Enough’? Say hello to Australia’s new original podcast “The Good Enough Dad” launched by LiSTNR that joins the conversation about the ins, outs, and everything in between of modern-day fatherhood.

5.4 Million Dads, One Voice

Famed parenting educator, author, and champion of boys, Maggie Dent, will embark on discussions with Australian dads about their triumphs, trials, and tribulations, reinforcing that being “good enough” is exactly what children need.

“Aspiring to be a GOOD father is praiseworthy, but research actually suggests that being a good ENOUGH parent is how you truly excel,” Maggie Dent explains.

Every Dad, Every Walk of Life

In a country proud to call her the “Queen of Common Sense”, Dent uses her characteristic humour and straightforward strategies to connect with fathers from all life paths.

She chats with dads like Hamish Blake, known for his engaging and humorous commentary about his blunders, fears, and accomplishments as a dad. She also speaks with other dads such as Gus Worland, Ben Hannant, John Butler, Stephen Page and more.

High-Fives All Around

Dent cements her vision for the podcast: “This podcast will have listeners laughing, nodding in agreement, reliving their own experiences, and groaning in understanding. Being a dad is not an easy job. If listeners finish an episode and want to either high-five themselves or hug their dads for all they have done, I’ll take that as a job well done.”

The Good Enough Dad Episode One: Hamish Blake; “I was Sacked”

Blake shares his candid experience about his journey as a dad, the lack of presence he felt from his own father during his teenage years, and how he was ‘sacked’ as a dad. The authenticity expressed in the first episode set the welcoming tone of the podcast, inviting everyone to listen, learn and laugh together.

The Good Enough Dad podcast is available for streaming today and will drop new episodes every Wednesday on LiSTNR. Stay tuned!
