Just Real Dads

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!

Landing just in time for Valentine's Day, we thought we'd let you in on how romantic we can be, or not!!!

Happy New Year! As we head in 2022 we can't avoid thinking about our goals for the year ahead. But at the centre of this episode is a look at the bedtime routine and the importance of story time. What does that look like in your house? Who does the 'heavy lifting' at the end of your day?  

In this Christmas 'special' episode, we talk about work-life balance with Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), going to the toilet, Christmas (obviously!) and how to keep the festive season as real as possible.

In our episode, we introduce ourselves and think about our biggest challenges as dads. You'll hear a bit about who we are, what we do and why we're doing a podcast. Hopefully, as well as being won over by our collective charisma and charm, you'll learn that those parenting 'phases' you think you are dealing with alone are entirely normal, or as close to normal as we can make them sound.
