No Perfect Dad – Being a dad is more than barking orders and grilling. “No Perfect Dad” shares conversations between dad’s that don’t always get it right, but who never stop trying.
The Podcast
No Perfect Dad is a podcast created and hosted by Midland’s own Neil Sierocki. There are currently nine episodes of Neil talking to dads about being dads. They are local fathers sharing who they are, who their dad is/was, and how they see that relationship playing out in their own parenting. The idea behind the podcast is to encourage intentional engagement of fathers, to build a community of dads (if not in person at least through podcast), and to share the idea that we are not going to be perfect dads but we should continue to work towards being the best we can.
