Broken Fathers Podcast
The Broken Fathers Podcast, founded by Australian veteran Jared "Purcy" Purcell, provides a platform for fathers to share their struggles, expose flaws in Australia’s outdated Family Court system, and advocate for change.
Purcy decided to create a podcast to establish a platform where fathers can feel comfortable to share there horrific experiences about the outdated Family Court system of Australia. He intends to lay bare the twisted system, by sharing the experiences of other broken fathers; to heal, to learn, and to raise awareness to end this injustice against men.
Jared’s a proud father, who has been completely broken by his experiences with the outdated Family Court system.
Good and loving fathers should never have to fight strangers in court, for the basic right to be a part of, and parent their own children.
