Fresh from being named 2026 Australian Father of the Year, Matt “Matty J” Johnson joins Dr James Brown for a raw, funny and honest conversation about fatherhood on The Fathering Project Podcast.

From the highs and challenges of raising three daughters to the everyday memories he hopes they’ll carry with them, Matt reflects on what he’s learnt, what he’s still figuring out and the kind of dad he wants to be.

He also shares how Two Doting Dads, the podcast he co-hosts with Ash Wicks, has created space for dads to talk more openly about the realities of parenting — the funny, difficult and deeply rewarding parts.

It’s a conversation about showing up, learning as you go and helping other dads feel a little less alone along the way.
