This week on the Dad Spotlight podcast we are bringing you Chris McKee, creator of the film, Pop Culture, a multi-channel exploration of the evolving role and impact of fatherhood in America.
While it is true that 51% of all family grocery shopping is now done by dads, it is also true that 1/3 of the children in this country do not have an active father in their life and 83% of men with children feel there is a societal bias against fathers. So our definition of patriarchs has never been more pliable or prescient. POP CULTURE assembles notable fathers, sons and daughters from all corridors of culture. These “lighthouses” provide a fascinating viewfinder on the enduring value of fatherhood. It invites viewers to consider not only how fathers raise their children, but how they elevate our nation.
Chris McKee, the film’s creator says “While creating this project, it was essential that we assemble a dynamic roster of notable people from various interests and circumstances. The fascinating & diverse stories range from Danica Patrick driving her father’s truck at age 6, to Laird Hamilton & his step-father on the beaches of Hawaii, to Fabien Cousteau at age 9, piloting the fabled Calypso on the night shift.”

The broadcast is the beginning of powerful engagement
POP Culture has also partnered with National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI), the nation’s #1 provider of programs and resources for fathers. We’re leveraging NFI’s connections to community-based organizations — like the Y and community action agencies — military installations, and correctional facilities in every state.
The inspiring content will fuel programs enabling fathers of all stripes and stations to have a podium. There are also plans to re-launch their “4 Fathers” digital promotion, searching for the nation’s four most inspired and dynamic dads. The four finalists of the contest will be flown to New York City and filmed for inclusion in Pop Culture Vol. 2.
