DADHOOD
DADHOOD is a global conversation about what it really means to become a dad, a man, a friend, and partner in today’s ever changing world.
Hosted by Thomas McMinn and Frankie Corrigan each episode explores the stories, struggles, and breakthroughs that shape the journey of modern fatherhood.
Through honest conversations with fathers, creators, and thinkers from around the world, we unpack the lessons behind love, growth, identity, and legacy.
No filters. No perfection. Just presence.
Because DADHOOD isn’t a parenting podcast — it’s a becoming podcast.
It’s for the men rewriting the story of what fatherhood can look like — with vulnerability, purpose, and heart.
Join the movement.
Listen. Reflect. Evolve.
