Our Editor's Take

When only a father's advice will do, there's the Father Knows Something podcast. The premise is simple. Listeners submit questions, and Dad, Jerry, answers them. His daughter Morgan claims he's a wise and eccentric man who offers the best advice. She used to refer to him on her podcast Two Hot Takes, which discusses stories from dating to mental health. Jerry's advice was always so popular that she suggested he start a podcast. He is happy to help anyone and acknowledges that his opinions may not always be right. The title is a play on the TV show Father Knows Best.

Each episode has a theme, from coping with in-laws to navigating "iffy boundaries." Morgan reads out questions from podcast listeners, and Jerry advises each one. He shares his own experiences and talks without judgment or self-importance.

In "Father Knows: Defying Gender Roles," one podcast listener asks for help. She is waiting for a marriage proposal. She is happy to do it herself, but her boyfriend says that if she does, he'll say no. Jerry states that it's a reversal of the gender roles but acknowledges that it's a different era. He believes it's an archaic "caveman" mentality that the man has to support the family. Jerry also discusses the pressure men can feel about proposing to their partner.

In "Father Knows: Girl Issues," joining Jerry is Morgan's partner, Justin. The topic of this podcast episode is two men providing their perspectives on female dilemmas. One listener writes in about a female friendship that has broken down. Her friend discovered the victim of a car accident. She then experienced nightmares and fell silent in communication. Should she put the effort in to save the relationship, or is it too late? Jerry provides his thoughts on friendship and what she should do.

The Father Knows Something weekly podcast provides one dad's advice on all aspects of life. Whether listeners want to stay friends with their exes or need help with grief, they welcome every question. It's a safe space for everyone's thoughts and feelings.
