I've got a 9 month old and this podcast has kept me company during 3am feeds, walks to baby sensory, endless rocking and pacing during bedtime routine and car journies once baby has fallen asleep. Both me and my partner love it abs and are looking forward to the live show next year! Thank you for keeping us sane boys!

This podcast is my happy place
