What do fathers pass down to their children—and what does it take to break the patterns we inherit?

This week, Talia Schlanger speaks with filmmaker Hubert Davis about his new hockey film Youngblood, a story about a gifted young player and his complicated relationship with his demanding “hockey dad.” Davis reflects on masculinity, fatherhood, the expectations we place on young men, and the lessons he inherited from his own father, a Harlem Globetrotter. He also talks about his documentary Black Ice, his longtime friendship with filmmaker Charles Officer, and the importance of seeing new stories and perspectives represented in hockey.

Then, for Article Club, The Atlantic staff writer Faith Hill joins Talia to discuss her article The Growing Cohort of Single Dads by Choice. They explore why some men are deliberately choosing fatherhood without a partner, what this growing trend reveals about changing ideas of masculinity, and why fatherhood can offer men a powerful sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Two conversations about fatherhood, masculinity, identity, and the stories we inherit—and the ones we choose to change.
