Daddy wants a podcast

Two Doting Dads is a podcast series that follows the parenting escapades of two good mates, Matty J and Ash Wicks. Like all good modern relationships, they met on Instagram and instantly bonded over the fact that they were both sleep-deprived Dads doing their best to dote over their two children. They share a very laid-back style to parenting, they don't pretend to be experts and they celebrate every single parenting mishap (which there are plenty). If you're listening for parenting advice, you've come to the wrong podcast.

Parenting

Alex Volkanovski says parenting makes UFC fighting feel like a walk in the park. 
Well, we won't be jumping into the ring with the bloke anytime soon!
UFC former lightweight world champ, Alex Volkanovski is known as Alexander the Great in the octagon but is also a doting dad to three young daughters: Ariana (9), Airlie (7), and Reign (8 months). 
Standing by his side is his high school sweetheart, Emma, who has helped Volk balance the intense world of MMA with the equally demanding role of being a loving father and husband.
