With election season heating up in Australia this week, the dads dive deep into the chaos, comedy, and contradictions of the campaign trail. From the disappearance of Stobie pole posters (RIP moustache-drawn candidates) to serious debates about nuclear energy, childcare funding, and the skyrocketing cost of milk, Rob, John, and Dave offer up their signature blend of insight, irreverence, and relatable dad commentary.

They break down what really matters for families — cost of living pressures, who we trust to represent us, and whether free energy will ever actually be free. It’s a raw and real discussion about voting not just for politics, but for the future our kids will grow up in. Oh, and yes — democracy sausages do get a mention.

🎧 Tune in for:

• Why the dads aren't buying the nuclear energy sell

• Election promises that might actually help your family

• How the cost of living is punching parents in the wallet

• A fair few laughs at the expense of politicians (and each other)

Perfect for any Aussie parent trying to make sense of modern politics without falling asleep at the wheel.

It’s the school & Easter holidays, and we’re knee-deep in Easter eggs, Holiday planning, and dodgy knees (cheers, Rob). Join Rob, John, and Dave as they take on the holy trinity of chaos: Easter, school holidays, and Anzac Day. Expect Dave's holiday hacks, caravan capers, and the Dads biggest dilemma in the current cost of living crisis? The definitive ruling on Best Before vs. Use By. Yes, we almost go aisle by aisle! It’s locker room banter meets dad life – with a side of mouldy cheese. So strap in for a proper laugh and a few useful tips (probably).

This week on the Dad United Podcast, we’re diving into the chaos and wonder of milestone moments, birthdays and icon ages as the kids grow up,—whether it’s your toddler mastering toilet training or your teen disappearing into the night with their L-plates and an app-based game of hide and seek (yep, that’s a thing now).

With Robs son turning 16, the dads reflect on what it means to give your kids more independence while holding onto your sanity. From teen sleepovers, to the hormonal rollercoasters of puberty, to toddlers throwing fists and tantrums just to get noticed—this one’s got it all.

We also unpack the different challenges across ages, the dynamics between siblings, and how we navigate those “I hate him / I love him” moments that somehow happen five minutes apart.

Grab your coffee (or a beer, wine for the ladies), and let’s celebrate the madness that comes with watching our kids grow up.

Tune in wherever you get your podcasts, and make sure youdon’t forget to follow and leave a review– we’d love to hear about the milestones in your world.
