Sam Todor - “From the Community” Series. Only child up / single parent up-bringing, mishaps in Bali and feelings of frustration and helplessness on the new dad journey.

Featuring everyday he's and she's from the community, Sam's story is one of an only child, single parent raised, now current dad. This one had it all - plenty of laughs, tears and more as we discuss the highs and lows of his upbringing, as well as journey as a new dad. From travel 'mishaps' in Bali normally only reserved for the discreet 'boys chat' through to feeling helpless at times - both as a son and as a parent, nothing was off-limits. ***DISCLAIMER: Language Warning & touches on some sensitive issues. For those in Australia, LIFELINE (13 11 14) and White Ribbon Australia (1800 737 732) are free 24/7 confidential counselling services available to you

Tom Symonds - Athlete Welfare, Life After Sport - including Parenthood and the BATTLES, Off-Field Tales and MUCH MORE from an ex-NRL and Super League Player.

NOTHING was off-topic from Tom Symonds, former NRL & Super League Player. We discuss: Athlete Welfare and insights into the inner workings of Rugby League Players Association (RLPA), some off-Field tales, Pro-Sport and the transition into life after it - including parenthood, plus an extremely raw personal story in creating a family and given the sensitivity of what was shared, only a handful of Tommy's closest circle know the stories... There's something in this for everyone.

Trent Meaney - Average Jokes, Beaches Upbringing and his Personal IVF Fertility Journey

-From the Community- Everyday people with stories often untold.... Trent and I are a tale of contrasts: one raised on the beach, the other in the country, one from a typical mum/dad household with 3 brothers, the other an only child with just a Mum... But what we do share is the battle and journey we faced to start our own families. Average jokes and plenty in between - I hope you enjoy Episode One!

- WELCOME TO FARTHER -

QUICK INTRO TO FARTHER & TASTE OF WHAT’S TO COME… Unpacking the many faces of fatherhood, through storytelling, community and connection. A platform and voice to connect, educate, inspire and entertain. FARTHER musters up a broad and diverse community of individuals sharing stories and insights that are real, raw and relatable on the sound waves. Tackling the often unspoken, FARTHER is built to encourage vulnerability through transparency and bring a voice to the often-untold stories of fatherhood - to move beyond the tension - to go farther... #gofarther (I want to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land I’m currently recording on, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. Paying respects to their elders past and present, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Straight Island cultures)
