Just Real Dads

Welcome to 2024! We wanted to hit the ground running this year. Ryan and Si had the opportunity to sit down with Jamie Northrop, local businessman and all-round mega-dad! Jamie is a father to four precious girls, all under ten! We talk logistics, struggles and celebrations of fatherhood as well as how to balance work and life (or at least try!).

Have a listen, get in touch hit us up with a decent review - if you don't mind of course!

Welcome to the Christmas special!

Can't believe this is our third one, so thanks for listening. We're here to talk all things Christmas - from what NOT to buy as a present to what the best bit of Christmas is for us.

We try (to varying degrees of success) to video our Secret Santa this year. Don't judge us, please!

Have a great Christmas. Do what makes you happy and we'll be back in your earholes in 2024!

In the words of two great thinkers - Stu and Jerry Springer - 'Take care of yourselves, and each other.'

The JRD Team

Back with a catch up after a hectic summer, we talk about the readjustment to school after sharing our holiday experiences.

Stu's been to London, Glenn's lost one of his kids (he did check down the back of the sofa...), Ryan's had a camping experience to forget and Si's been away too - listen carefully and he might mention it!

Great beers, good blokes and solid talk about the realness of being a dad - what more do you people want from us?!And, yes, you're right, we did fall apart a bit at the end. Sorry about that!

Apparently, it's summer time, so this is out summer 'special'.

This episode we have a rant about TV, chatting about what our kids watch, how they watch it, and how we engage in what they're watching. And we have some cracking beers, including possibly the best stout we've tried.

Also in our 'catch up', we find out Stu's off on his holibobs!! Follow us on Instagram and let us know where Stu should go - we want those selfies from Stu!

As Glenn talks about it at the end of the episode, Callum is off on a volunteering journey, if you think you might be able to help at all, his fundraising details will be on our socials.

Big thanks to Taylor Swift for listening too!

Happy Summer!

It's been a wee while! This episode, we're having a bit of a chat about some beers, some challenges of fatherhood, and about one child's criminal behaviour....

As always, a big thank you to Beer Heroes Chester for sponsorship - Stu picked some good ones for this recording. I know - we were ALL shocked!

Enjoy, get in touch and we'll be back soon with another does of Just Real Dads!

It's been a while, but we're back with our first ever interview - hopefully the first of many! Si sat down with Ryan & Andrea to discuss the journey they've been on with Jonah, following his recent ADHD diagnosis, The interview is honest and it's great to hear about what that diagnosis journey's been like. BUT it's out first one, so be gentle with us! We'll keep trying to perfect out craft like a fine beer.

In the interview, Andrea mentions a few resources. You can find the links below here:

And, as usual, the dads catch up and talk their fair share of nonsense!! Enjoy

Here it is, loyal listeners (and new ones, hopefully!!!)

In this episode, we reflect a bit on the energy crisis, when the heating's going on, at what point we knew we were old men and Stu gets a little wired uo about nurses' wages (but he actually makes a good point!) We also talk about the passing of the Queen, the queue and the impact she had.

We've been a while in putting this together, but it's worth it, we think. Some REAL real in this one, where we talk about stress, how it affects us, what we can do about it and reaching out for help.
