Finding Nemo (with Graeme Connors)
from Folks on Film
This was first broadcast July 20th 2025, on MainFM in Castlemaine, Victoria. In this episode of the show, Sam sits down with Graeme Connors (country music legend, Mackay local, and also a grandfather), about what we can learn about dadding and parenting from the loveable and near-perfect family film, Finding Nemo. Using the trials and tribulations of clownfish dad, Marlin as their jumping off point, the dads chat about the importance of letting our kids engage in risky play, not being a helicopter parent, and how the instinct to sacrifice ourselves for the good of our kids never goes away, no matter how old they are. Don't come expecting definitive answers or paths to parenting greatness. This is just two ordinary, imperfect dads getting real and having a chat. Just keep swimming, folks.
