DJ EFN, KGB and Manny Digital
From the creators of The Drink Champs, come... insider Hip-Hop Stories, Parenting Advice and Therapy Sessions from devout Hip Hop heads. Father Hoods is a weekly podcast where DJ EFN, KGB and Manny Digital discuss being fathers and how they parent from a Hip-Hop perspective.
In their rap sessions they get into their child raising strategies, fears and joys - all while serving as each other's trusted council in figuring out how NOT to screw up being good dads. They're often joined by guests from around Hip Hop culture to share their own parental takes and lend some advice to the cause.
Episode 25 - No Sleep Counting Sheep
On this episode we open the show answering listener questions. We give our thoughts on how a new step dad should approach co-parenting (a.k.a. parenting alongside separated biological parents). We try to tackle how to reconcile the appreciation of an artist's craft (that has been accused of foul/abusive behavior), with being responsible/respectable fathers?
We also discuss the recent headlines about abuse in the Catholic church and how we're planning to prepare our kids for the foul sh*t that surrounds us.
