Little Miss Sunshine (with Monte)


Listen Later

We're jumping right into things. No trailer, no preamble, just getting this thing out there with our first episode.


This was first broadcast on March 31st, 2024 on 94.9 MainFM as part of The Sunday Midday Show.


In it, host Sam and his guest Monte (social worker, musician, board game cheat) have watched Little Miss Sunshine (so you don't have to). Taking the depiction of the two dads in the film as their jumping-off point, they talk about how we imprint our kids with good (and bad) ideas, how to manage challenging behaviours, the trials of being a "grown up" dad, and what we've learnt from our own padres.


Don't come expecting definitive answers or paths to parenting greatness. This is just two ordinary, imperfect dads getting real and having a chat.


It should be emotional.
