World's Greatest Dad with Ali & Neil

Duff Goldman on Raising a Goth Toddler, Eating Cake for a Living, & Parenting Like a Rockstar


Listen Later

Duff Goldman is used to handling pressure: from constructing gravity-defying cakes to judging young bakers on national TV. But fatherhood? That’s a new kind of wild. Duff shares how becoming a dad was once his biggest fear until one lightning-bolt shower epiphany changed everything. He opens up about overcoming a chaotic childhood to build a nurturing home, why Bluey’s dad Bandit deserves the “Best Dad” trophy, and how he’s applying his craft-plus-art philosophy to parenting. We hear all about Josephine, his hilarious and bold four-year-old daughter who can drive a nail, wield a chef’s knife with supervision, dissect anatomy models for fun, and loves goth classics like Nightmare Before Christmas. Plus: the secret to eating cake on TV without actually eating cake, screaming-into-a-pillow coping strategies, and why Duff hopes his daughter will simply say: my dad had my back. This episode of WGD is equal parts sweet and deeply real.
