Fatherhood

For episode two on the comeback trail, and the first in a series of remote conversations during lockdown, Fatherhood welcomes psychotherapist and relationship coach Jo Nicholl. Coronavirus has forced the world to adjust to a scary new reality, placing huge stress on all of us through fear of illness and worries for our future. It's those closest to us that can feel that stress, while relationship issues can be worsened with the proximity of social isolation. Jo Nicholl has twenty five years experience as a psychotherapist and relationship coach, and in this interview special she advises on how to live in a harmonious household; the opportunity we can grasp to understand ourselves and transform our relationships; and how to look after and connect with our children in stressful times. Music by DJ Mandray for balancetwo.

After a stroll in the wilderness Fatherhood is back! And though of course we're in isolation, we wanted to reach out a digital hand to connect with fathers and families. Dads - drawers full of batteries, awkward jokes and bad dancing, who are these grumpy knitwearers? The podcast helps dads connect emotionally to the experience of fatherhood, and challenge some stereotypes along the way - with interviews and stories exploring modern masculinity, parental roles and the impact of the fatherhood in all our lives. Join father of two and audio producer Robin Leeburn as we relaunch the show by going back to the start with a 'Welcome to Dad Club'. In this episode leading UK poets Richard Price (https://www.hydrohotel.net) and Luke Wright (https://www.lukewright.co.uk) read their own work, alongside the thoughts and recollections of a bunch of dads we met along the way. Hear emotional stories of fatherhood backed by a soundscape mixed by the presenter and good pal and DJ Keir Livock.
