Kicking off Season 2 with a bang, we meet the Dad behind Sam. Joe Gawenda is in the box, talking about his life as the son of Polish holocaust survivors who moved to Australia after the War. Joe remembers his relationship with his own father, talks about Sam as a boy, and now Sam as a Dad – a must listen! Thank you for your support.

We're no experts and we're not here to offer advice; we're here to exchange stories on the triumphs and tribulations of Dadding. Sam is dad to three boys Sonny, Vann and Otis. And Tom is dad to three girls Bela, Ettie and Maeve.
