Folks on Film is a chat show about parenting and movies.
Every episode, Sam and another dad watch a movie with a dad in it. Then, they come together and use the film's depiction of fatherhood as a way to talk about their own dadding experiences and big-boy feelings.
This show is produced for 94.9 MainFM on Djarra country, Castlemaine, Victoria.
In the future, the show will include mums. This podcast is playing catch-up to the radio broadcasts, and mums come into it at after about 20 episodes.
Be excellent to each other.

This was first broadcast July 20th 2025, on MainFM in Castlemaine, Victoria.
In this episode of the show, Sam sits down with Graeme Connors (country music legend, Mackay local, and also a grandfather), about what we can learn about dadding and parenting from the loveable and near-perfect family film, Finding Nemo. Using the trials and tribulations of clownfish dad, Marlin as their jumping off point, the dads chat about the importance of letting our kids engage in risky play, not being a helicopter parent, and how the instinct to sacrifice ourselves for the good of our kids never goes away, no matter how old they are.
Don't come expecting definitive answers or paths to parenting greatness. This is just two ordinary, imperfect dads getting real and having a chat.
Just keep swimming, folks.
