A mix of topics on this week's Dadcast as Lockdown 2.0 gets underway. This time the ones having the trouble sleeping aren't the kids, it's the Dads. Also getting the confidence to bring your kids cycling on the roads - when do you want to do that? And a thought provoking letter from a listener to dadcast@offtheball.com has the Dads thinking about how to broach the topic of racism with your kids, and when you might do it.
