As promised - here is the full interview with dad Paul from last weeks show about addicted dads. It's hard to fit everything into an hour, so I thought i'd upload this as a bit of bonus content while you wait for the next installment of Farter Figures. This is Paul's story about his battles with alcholism, becoming sober and being a father. He doesn't hold back and it's a fascinating chat. Enjoy and thanks Paul!

The last episode of 2017 for Farter Figures is finally here! 

I know it's come a little late - but it's now online for all of you to enjoy!

In this episode I have a very special guest live in the studio with me - my very own dad! We talk about roles reversed when dads get older. Australia's population is ageing so is it the kids who have the parenthood responsibility for their ageing parents? We chat to my dad's dad and Ronda Held who is the CEO of the Council of the Ageing Victoria. 

I also interview wordsmith and co-host of Letters and Numbers David Astle about all the interesting linguistics behind the words dad and father!

On the last episode of the year we also wrap up the best of the best dad jokes, dad fashion and daddisms. 

Enjoy and stay tuned for what's next!

Episode 13 - Role Reversal Dads (Final Episode)

The very first politician on Farter Figures stepped into the SYN Nation studio for this episode. Senator Sam Dastyari tells his story of migrating from Iran, fatherhood and juggling being a politician and a dad. 

One in four Australians are born overseas and we have a rich indigenous culture to be recognised, respected and celebrated. The two dads on this show are Sam Dastyari and Mark Mayo. Sam is from Iran and Mark is an indigenous father living in Darwin. 

It's a great episode discussing different backgrounds, identity and understanding where you come from. 

Listen to different culture dads and you won't miss the usual dad news, dad facts, dad music, dad jokes, dad sayings and dad fashion.

Episode 12 - Dads From Different Cultures

What a wonderful episode this is! Farter Figures challenges some of societies perceptions that same-sex couples aren't capable parents. I speak to two gay dads. One is young, single and a foster parent to three sisters. The other comes from Portland in America whose transgender partner recently given birth to a baby boy. Two different stories of gay parenting, but both are captivating and inspirational for all parents. I also chat to Sally Goldner a former LBGTIQ Australian person of the year and head of Transgender Victoria. Our fourth guest on this massive episode is Dr Deborah Dempsey from Swinburne University. She has been researching same-sex parenting families for 12 years. 

This episode discusses LBGTIQ parenting and how society needs to accept everyone as equal, no matter how different we are. 

Parenting is parenting.

Love is Love.
