  • Fave podcast!

    Absolutely love Two Doting Dads! It feels like sitting in on a cosy conversation with two friends who are thoughtful, funny, and refreshingly honest about parenting. Their warmth really shines through, and you can tell how much heart they put into every episode. I enjoy it so much that my partner has officially had enough of me sending him their videos. Reassuring, relatable, and always good for a smile — a lovely listen for parents and non-parents alike

  • Great company

    I’ve been listening since before I became a parent late last year, but I’ve always enjoyed. Now I’m on maternity leave with my 10 week old, some days I pop the YouTube versions on the TV and just let the episodes run through the day. It feels like having great company during a time where I’ve only got a baby and a dog to talk to for most of the day. Thanks for the laughs 😊 !
