The world is basically not set up to accept that men can be caregivers to children, and it's a very lonely experience- and I faced a number of, as I say, sexist experiences and I started blogging about it.
Ever wondered what it's like to be a stay-at-home dad in today's world? Meet John Adams, the voice behind DadPodUK, a podcast dedicated to sharing the diverse experiences of fatherhood. In this episode of 'Podcaster Stories', host Danny Brown sits down with John to explore his decade-long journey as a stay-at-home dad and how it inspired him to start his podcast.
They dive into some heartwarming and challenging topics, from the emotional highs of interviewing other dads to the societal stereotypes that still linger around fatherhood. John opens up about the pivotal moments that shaped his path, including how lockdown played a role in launching his show and the deeply moving interviews he's conducted.
He also touches on the decision-making process he and his wife went through for him to become the primary caregiver, a choice that led him to face sexism and preconceived notions about gender roles. But it's not all about challenges. John shares the joys of spending quality time with his kids and the unique bond they've formed. He also discusses how his dad blog led to a significant charity event at Downing Street, showcasing his commitment to making a difference.
The conversation takes a thoughtful turn as they discuss the importance of addressing race and ethnicity at home, and why flexible working should be more accessible to parents. John believes that Covid-19 has brought about new opportunities for positive change, particularly for this generation of parents and children. If you're interested in fatherhood, gender equality, or just love a good story about overcoming societal norms, this episode is for you. Tune in to hear John Adams' candid and inspiring journey.
