Father’s Day Special: Being the ultimate girl dad

We love girl dads. And Saesha's dad fits the bill a little too perfectly. For this Father's Day, she bribes him with a Yo-Chi to jump on the pod and spill his secret to surviving three women in the house. It's a little scary, he admits. Dr Sanjaya Senanayake is one of Australia's most recognised health experts who has often embarrassed his family on national TV with his "jokes". We're certain he is a big deal but for this episode, he is just a dad (and also our official Spice Girl). Listen now, only on SBS Spice.

Making Father’s Day extra special, Saesha’s dad, Dr Sanjaya Senanayake, joins us on SBS Spice to share what it really takes to be an acceptable girl dad. Listen now, wherever you get your podcasts.

Being a dad to girls has certainly made me become more sensitive to how girls are feeling in general. I'm definitely more aware of that than I would have been if I didn't have girls.

Sanjaya Senanayake, Saesha's Dad
