Dave Berry's Dadpod

Britain’s favourite podcasting duo, Shagged Married Annoyed’s Chris & Rosie Ramsey are the Dadpod’s first ever couple guests. They tell Dave about whether they’ll be taking their sons Robin & Rafe on their huge UK arena tour or enjoying a bit of time to themselves. Plus, they discuss why thousands of people across the country take comfort in hearing them ranting about each other and their kids on a weekly basis!

When he’s not scaling mountains or coming face to face with deadly animals, Steve Backshall is a father to 3 toddlers (including twins Kit & Willow), alongside his wife, double Olympic gold medallist rower, Helen Glover. He joins Dave Berry on his Dadpod to find out how he fits everything into his hectic life, if Steve’s kids shown any sign of adventure already, and has he had to tone down his dangerous jobs since becoming a father?

Masterchef’s Gregg Wallace joins Dave to talk all things Dad. He recently became a father again to baby Sid, 20 years after having his first two children, Tom & Libby. Dave found out how he fared and how his parenting style has changed in that time. Plus, he’s used to giving out culinary criticism on TV, but what about when he’s on the receiving end from his own kids?

Dave Berry’s Dadpod returns for a new season, where for over 2 years we’ve been celebrating all things parenthood. Now Dave’s daughter Evie, who inspired the podcast is a bit older, but there’s still more for us all to learn.

That’s why the dadpod will be returning on Thursday 13th May with some very special guests talking all about fatherhood and giving Dave their best dadvice!

A quick message to say thank you, merry Christmas and happy new year!

David Lammy, MP for Tottenham, Shadow Lord Chancellor and Shadow Secretary of State for Justice and father of 3, joins Dave for this episode of his Dadpod.

David talks about why he loves having a big family, what Christmas is like in the Lammy household and the importance of Tottenham Hotspurs to him and his kids. When trying to explain how he balances work and fatherhood, David gets interrupted in spectacular fashion as he chats to Dave from the House of Commons.

David also considers the huge impact his mother had on him as a parent and he explains why adopting his daughter 6 years ago was the most important thing their family has ever done.

Ben Shephard, TV presenter, journalist, quiz master and father of 2, joins Dave Berry for this episode of his Dadpod.

Ben explains why he loves that his teenage sons are now old enough to beat him at golf and outpace him on runs. He remembers when his son won the jackpot on Tipping Point, and a particularly hilarious story when he tried to give his wife the morning off parenting duties and it all went wrong.

Ben also considers the importance of instilling a charitable ethos in his kids and the challenge of bringing the - often gloomy - news to the nation and then having to raise children in that world.
