  • The Big Question with Seany O'Kane

    Happy Monday everyone!! This week we are joined on the 'Dad-Couch' again by fatherhood practitioner and domestic violence expert, Seany O'Kane, to ask another Big Question - Should you swear in front of your children?

    Seems like an obvious one, but we discuss some interesting takes on the issue and wonder what the best way to broach the subject with your kids is. Needless to say, there's some swearing in this one.


    Enjoy!

  • Ep.10 - Seány O'Kane & the Zimbabwean Ace of Base

    Hi everyone! We're back and this month we're delighted to sit down with award winning fatherhood practitioner, Seány O'Kane!

    We hear how the former Big Brother contestant turned his back on the celebrity life and embarked on the journey of becoming a leading expert in working with young dads in domestic violence situations - helping vulnerable dads become better engaged fathers.

    Seány also tells the incredible/hilarious story of how he became a dad and describes his son's modern parenting set-up...involving a dad and two mums.

    In other news, Jamie fills Seth in on a particularly messy poop incident with daughter Matilda, and Seth describes the trepidation of sending his little one, Eliza to the child minder for the first time. There's also a couple of great products reviewed in 'DAD TECH'!

    Enjoy!

  • Baby Bite: Ill Behaviour (Shiloh FX Remix)

    We think our kids stay in their bedrooms at night. For some of us, this is not true. Kojak’s daughter has been sneaking into his studio undetected to learn daddy’s craft of producing phat beats. She hasn’t mastered the art of using samplers and synthesisers yet but knows her way round egg shakers, triangles, recorders and xylophones.


    She might just be the youngest producer ever.


    Here is her first release, using one of her all-time favourite tunes.


    Enjoy!

    Our 'Big Question' this month is - can fame come too early? Helping us tackle this tricky topic with his unique insights is our amazing guest from Ep 8, Ben Bailey Smith aka Doc Brown. As we heard on episode 8, Ben came to fame relatively late, but his two young daughters have already started to dip their toes into the world of entertainment. How has Ben dealt with managing their expectations, what advice has he for any parents out there in a similar situation and what are the perks of being an on-set chaperone?! Enjoy!
