"I'll take it off ya... I'll take it back"
On this episode we welcome our newest dad to date, David. We talk about the joys of early fatherhood, how David balanced unpredictable work with a due date looming, pets vs kids and late night improv! Talking about dad stuff got in the way of talking about podcasts, film and tv shows.…

"Today I'm gonna call you Warren, is that alright?"
Micky and I discuss playtime, and making the most of it while you can, even if it's hard not to be lazy. We also chat about giving your child the room and freedom to find out who they are, and giving them a safe space to do it. Happy fathering! https://linktr.ee/dpaffpod #DPAFFPOD Theme Music by...

"They walked in and saw me caked in blood"
Everybody needs good neighbours! Luckily, I have great neighbours, and my next door neighbour, Paul, was willing to give us his insights on fatherhood so far. We nattered for nearly 2 hours, so it was really tough getting this down to under an hour. Get ready for some solid sarcasm, dad jokes and…

"I managed to lock her in the car"
Better L8 than never!!! This episode was really tough to edit, as the conversation came easy and we covered a lot of ground. The end result is an episode much longer than usual, so get it on and get about your day. We discuss renting a SNES, YouTube and corporal punishment. Jason and Dave's The...

"A romantic pattern"
Pulling a favour from a colleague and 1 half of The Do Dads (link to their show here:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-do-dads/id1487381735). We discuss children's books, loitering and much more. Please let me know how this sounds compared to previous episodes. Is it loud enough? I have...

"Apparently they can swim if you throw them in a swimming pool"
Another family member joins the podcast! This time they are much further in to fatherhood, and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Meet my step something in law, twice removed, 3rd in line to the thrown, cousin's dog's owner. I jest. Meet Martin. Apologies for the low hum feedback in this...
-
"Queens of the Stone Age, Daddy"
Meet Chris, Dad to one girl and many pets. More than ever, we celebrate parenting wins and not being too hard on yourself. We also discuss hobbies, music and channel 5. Enjoy! Happy fathering! https://linktr.ee/dpaffpod Theme Music by Skilsel (https://pixabay.com/users/skilsel-22933514/)

"If the soft toy had s**t himself, I would have been in big trouble."
Our freshest dad to date. Dean is 3 months in to his stint. We discuss those early months and years where sleep deprivation is high and fatherhood is a big shock to the system. The book tickets for Gerry & Sewell! https://www.live.org.uk/whats-on/gerry-sewell Happy fathering!...

"I’m on level eight and I’m depleted with my health"
Today's guest (John) guides us through their journey of fatherhood so far, 2 and 1/2 years in to an 18 year stint. We also get played out by an audio track made by our guest as a surprise for his brother, an expecting dad. Find John on instagram at...
-
"Go to church and piss off!"
We discuss unsustainable but sometimes necessary parenting techniques, fatherly self doubt and how to say names with a Spanish twang. Tom gives great off-the-cuff answers despite me not sending him the questions before hand and I forget to use the pop shields AGAIN. Happy fathering!...

"Average Joe"
The inaugural episode of Dads, Papas and Father Figures. DPAFF for short. Triggered by some set questions, we discuss some of the highs, lows and myths of fatherhood. We also look at dad to dad advice. Take it with a pinch of salt! https://linktr.ee/dpaffpod Theme Music by Skilsel...
