Dadcast: We talk about our fathers

Thomas and I both grew up with fathers who fit the old 'breadwinner' role. In this episode of the Dadcast, we talk about our fathers, why they were often disappointed and how they mellowed with age.

Thomas has learnt from his father that he always needs something "spatzig" for appointments and therefore likes to arrive a little early. I've inherited the trait from my father that I can't eat anything without making a mess. Even if we don't want to, we're a lot like our fathers. In the fifth episode of the Dadcast, we talk about how we can't live up to our own fathers and why a military career hasn't been worth it for a long time.

The Dadcast is aimed at anyone who is interested in the topic of fatherhood - whether they are fathers themselves or not.

When I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
