40 With A Newborn episodes

  • Wholesome AF Christmas!!!
    In previous years it's been White and Wood, Trad Red, and Blingin'!! (which was all gold...). This year...we WHOLESOME AF!! Yes, I'm talking a REAL tree, piano sheet music of all the traditional carols, even a bloody giant Nutcracker soldier to greet as at the door. He has a not-so-wholesome name depending on how you look at it, but my 3 year old named him so that should mentally prepare you. Come along and get into theme as we go Wholesome AF!! Oh - the secondary theme is 'that'll do', so don't get too stressed out. Plus...if you've never met Mr Hanky...you're about to meet him. Prepare!!!

  • Interview: Why do we all have ADHD?
    Does it seem to you like every second person is getting an ADHD diagnosis? Maybe it's just me...since like attracts like. ADHD can have an impact on how you parent in both good ways and more challenging ways. But it's not just about we parents...our kids are being diagnosed with ADHD in higher rates than ever before - so what does this mean for them, and us parenting them? Emma Spencer is the CEO of Spencer Health, and spends a portion of her week conducting assessments in one of her four centres across Sydney. So when it comes to ADHD, she knows what she's talking about. Oh, and she's also my sister. I promise we will play nice!!

  • Interview: Dr Karl! Science interpreter extraordinnaire.

    I love science! So who better than to speak to about everything from conception to the inredible uterus than a science brain, who also became a Dad at 40 AND was Australian Father of the Year in 2003? In this conversation, Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki and I discuss the evolution of parenthood, the challenges of aging while parenting, the miracle of conception, and the importance of sun safety in relation to skin cancer. We explore how modern medicine has changed the landscape of parenting and health, particularly in relation to fertility and the biological processes involved in conception. In this conversation, Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki discusses various scientific topics, including the effects of electromagnetic radiation on health, the human impact on climate change, the role of fossil fuels in climate denial, the relationship between evolution and fertility rates, and the complexities of human genetics. He emphasizes the importance of curiosity and optimism in parenting and encourages listeners to seek accurate scientific information.
