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.

So, this episode goes sideways! A lot of open talk we weren't expecting, but that's what being real is all about.

This might be the episode that proves we've all lost our minds! The ramblings of four tired, weary dads....In this one, we talk about how our kids make us laugh. And we've got correspondence from ACTUAL listeners!! Along with all the usual beer chat and ridicule, what more do you need?

In what might be our most serious episode so far, JRD wanted to tackle one of the biggest challenges we've faced, particularly over the last two years - how do you talk to your kids about what's in the news? The range of ages and sensitivities of the JRD kids mean we've all had very different experiences and, hopefully, we can offer a bit of advice in approaching with caution!

So, here at JRD, we love a chuckle. Our grandparents always told us laughter was the best medicine. That being the case, we thought we'd do a little something for your wellbeing.....and laugh at each other!
