Two Sweary Dads

Your hosts are Ben Slinger (father of a 2 year old boy and twin 9 month old girls) and Trevor Scott (father of a 3 year old boy). Together they discuss the vagaries of fatherhood in Australia, tell stories of joy and frustration, and go off on tangents that don't involve their children at all (because not everything is about being a Dad).
