Aaaaaaaand we're back. After giving ourselves the summer off to watch the World Cup (and Love Island), we're returning to your podcast app to talk all things fatherhood.

In this ep, the first of our unofficial second series, we find out how Seth and Jamie's summer holidays have shaped up with Eliza and Matilda in tow and we hear a cautionary tale on why potentially toxic liquids should not be left in reach of young children...in case you didn't already know!

We also have a rather echoey chat with journalist and author, James Millar, about his new book 'Dads Don't Babysit: Towards Equal Parenting', which takes a new approach to tackling gender inequality in the home and at work, especially for anyone thinking of taking shared parental leave.

Really glad to be back doing this podcast thing, hope you enjoy!

In this month's FIRST AID SPECIAL episode, our guest is Sarah Kohn, mother of three and founder of Early Bird First Aid. From head injuries to burns, choking to drowning, Sarah takes Seth and Jamie through all the important stuff you NEED to know if you look after children.

Sarah also offers great tips on baby-proofing your homes, so make sure you listen...this is all a bit terrifying but absolutely crucial knowledge to arm yourselves with.

Enjoy!

We're joined back in the studio by celebrity chef and founder of the revolutionary baby food company - Babease. Seeing as we have him in again, we thought we'd ask him the Big Question, which is - How much influence should Dad have in pregnancy and birth?

I'm sure we all have a lot to say on this matter, which made it a question worth asking.

Check it out!

This month we are joined by chef to the stars turned entrepreneur Tom Redwood as he talks to us about the disappointing encounter with baby food which inspired him to set up 'Babease', his own brand of 'vegetable-led' baby food, currently making waves in the industry. Tom also discusses his take on how to develop your baby's love for different (and nutritious) types of food from a young age...and tells us why he has a real problem with fussy eaters!

We hear about how Tom's own culinary journey has seen him start life as a vegetarian and develop into a meat eating chef working in an upscale veggie restaurant in Brighton (go figure!), his time as a private chef for Simple Minds and Craig David, and his much more recent experience of becoming a dad for the first time.

Seth and Jamie also catch up about what's new with Eliza and Matilda.

Enjoy!

Yes! We're back after a month off and we bring you a 'best of' episode. But unlike the 'best of' episodes of some of your favourite American sitcoms, our one is pretty entertaining.

It's been a year since we started this podcast...and since Seth became a dad, but let's focus on the bigger picture here...so the four of us decided to sit down with a few (definitely too many) beers and celebrate the last 12 months of podcasts.

So join the whole Good Dad Ugly team as we get progressively more hammered and reminisce over our individual favourite moments from our back catalogue of amazing guests, including Doc Brown, Matt Willis & Father of Daughters (FOD)...whilst accidentally electrocuting DJ Kojak in the process!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past 12 months and here's to another year of podcasting. We have some great guests already lined up for the next few eps, so stay tuned!

Enjoy!

Ho ho holy crap it's another podcast! We're back on the tinsel-lined Dad Couch once again with Kerrang Radio's Alex Baker, to ask a Christmas themed Big Question - How much should you spoil your kids at Christmas?

It's something that everyone has an opinion on and so who better to come up with the answer than us idiots? Have a listen to find out if we're more Scrooge than Santa!

Thanks for listening, have a great Christmas and see you in the new year!

On this episode we are delighted to be joined by the ‘New Artist Overlord' himself - Kerrang Radio's Alex Baker!

Father to 1 year old Luna, Alex talks candidly about how it took him several months to really fall in love with her. He also confesses to ditching his beloved cats once Luna entered the world and that drinking gin straight from the bottle was the only thing that got him through the harrowing experience of sleep training his daughter. Not only that, but we may have inadvertently stumbled across the next best selling genre of music!

Meanwhile Seth recalls a horrendous puking incident with Eliza as well as a close shave with a loaded mousetrap, and Jamie blames the influence of Producer Tom's youngest son for Matilda's impressive and relentless new talent!

Enjoy!

Hi everyone! This month's Big Question is not only for the dads and mums out there but also for the granddads and grandmas! We're joined in the studio again by founder of the Music, Football, Fatherhood website, Elliott Rae to debate the tricky and sensitive subject of the role of grandparents.

We all need their support (obvs) but can they sometimes be a little bit too supportive?

Enjoy and let us know what you think!
