Customer Reviews
A wonderful antidote if like me you didn’t have a decent father
Aussie Dads in the 1970s. JFC. I got out and away at age 17, thank sanity. Now in 2022 on the other side of the world, it is a revelation to listen to these wonderful guys demonstrating honestly and with such heartfelt warmth how much they think and try and do and care about their kids. And they are funny too! Even the puns! 😉😃❤️❤️❤️ Five stars bc I can’t give ‘em six.
Hilarious, heartwarming, not just for dads!
These three dads are not only insightful and intelligent but also funny as hell, 100% worth a listen!
