Grown Up Dad

GROWN UP DAD is a five-part series that explores the generational changes of fatherhood and asks what it means to be a good dad today. Historically, being a dad meant providing financially - putting food on the table and a roof overhead. Yet, this norm feels incomplete. With important societal discussions about toxic masculinity and evolving gender roles, defining good fatherhood has never been more complex. Host Joseph Gidjunis grew up seeing fathers as drive-by parents who often missed out on real family time. Wanting to be more present for his son, Joseph embarks on a journey across the United States and Australia to discover what that means for him and his family. Along the way, Joseph meets up with experts and other fathers to discuss fatherhood, parenting, work and life balance, and being a role model.
