The Art of Fatherhood Podcast

Art Eddy -- yes, his actual name is Art, and the podcast is called Art of Fatherhood, which is the kind of coincidence you just have to appreciate -- has spent 100 episodes interviewing fathers from every corner of professional life. Actors, athletes, entrepreneurs, authors, and coaches all sit down with Art to talk about what fatherhood has taught them and what they're still figuring out. The signature segment is the "Fatherhood Quick Five" that closes each episode, where Art fires off five rapid questions to his guests. It's a fun way to get past the rehearsed answers and see how someone actually thinks about parenting in the moment. The rest of each conversation follows a relaxed interview format -- Art asks about childhood influences, parenting philosophies, and the values guests are trying to pass on to their kids. Listeners regularly note that Art has a talent for making his guests comfortable. The conversations feel natural rather than stiff, and guests tend to share more than they probably planned to. Notable past guests include Bill Fagerbakke, Martellus Bennett, and Jim Lampley, but the lesser-known dads often produce the most memorable episodes. With a 4.9-star rating from 47 reviews on Apple Podcasts, the show punches above its weight in terms of listener satisfaction. Episodes come weekly and clock in at a manageable length for a single listen. If you enjoy hearing how different men approach the same fundamental challenge of raising good humans, Art's genuine curiosity makes every conversation worth your time.
