Daddy and The Dunce

It’s been a while since our last podcast but we jump right into it like a single bloke coming out quarantine for the first time… We do our best not to mention coronavirus, or covid-19 or any other related terms, but we fail dismally. Amongst all the public health talk we also find time to discuss the pros and cons of being a dad, and having kids for homeschooling for extended periods of time…

So join us as we have a laugh while looking at some of those topics of fatherhood, children and families that other "parenting" podcasts don't dare to touch. Get in touch with us to share your own stories or Dad Tales.

In the latest instalment of this groundbreaking parenting podcast, Ashley and Mark chat about a Dad that saved his daughter from being run over by a train by jumping on her. But how could he possibly get a dunce rating! And Ashley learns the hard way to be careful what you say around your kids because it could come back to bite you. Although it has worked out pretty well for him, so he may not have learnt his lesson…

Ashley and Mark are back to discuss all things parenting. They rate a Dad that used his son’s backpack to ward off a mountain lion, they look at what becoming an Uncle for the first time is really like and they dive deep into childhood tanties and what they are like from the perspective of a father, and an uncle.

Once again we have a laugh while looking at some of the important topics of parenting, fatherhood, children and families. If you have a topic you would like to hear us discuss get in touch with via our email or our social media. We love it when our listeners engage with us!

Every day, 8 children in Australia are born with some form of Congenital Heart Defect. February is Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) awareness month, so in this bonus episode, Ashley goes through his very personal journey of being a Dad to a HeartKid and all the ups and downs that this involves. From the moment they learnt of his son’s Heart Problems, from a less than subtle doctor, right through to the constant feeling of anxiety and being on edge about the most mundane everyday things, Ashley is honest and frank about the reality and uncertantities that they face, but also the sense of perspective he has gained by being in such a tough situation.

If you are a parent of a HeartKid we hope you may be able to use this episode to share this with friends and family to give them a bit better understanding of what your everyday life may be like. Please feel free to reach out to us and share your story.

Ashley and Mark are back to discuss all things parenting. They ponder a Dad that tackles his son’s opponent in a wrestling match, a father that always smiles when he walks through the door to greet his wife and children (and whether this is a good strategy or not) and what goes through your head when you first find out your partner is pregnant and you are going to become a father!

Welcome to the first episode of our brand-new parenting podcast! We add our Dad and Dunce takes to the already over-saturated world of parenting literature and podcasting!

In the trailer we heard from Mark and his lack of parenting expertise so we delve a bit deeper into Ashley’s background in this episode and learn a little bit about him as a parent of two boys.

Ashley doesn’t hold back when introducing Mark to the world of parenting, kicking it off with one of the bigger topics of the day, “should you let your baby cry it out?”. Ashley gives his opinion on what he has found works and Mark tells it like it is from a non-parents point of view.
