In case you’ve ever wondered about fatherhood, then How To Be A Dad – a new Dadsnet original podcast, may have the answers for you.
‘How to’ books are now a thing of the past, with everything new dads need to know streamed directly into their ears.
Hosted by BBC radio and TV presenter and dad, Al Booth, How To Be A Dad is a podcast series that delves into a dad’s journey into fatherhood.
Al has scoured the nation to find dads with varying experiences from unfathomable highs to catastrophic lows and knitted together in a sensitive, easy listening and entertaining way.
Take John for example, he was adamant that he wanted to name his child Cuba – after hosting his own Cuban baby shower fully equipped with Cuban cigars, dress up and poker chips. As far as he was concerned, the decision had been made. His son is now called Gabriel.
You’ll hear how dads cope when they don’t know what else to do, “No word of a lie, I got down on my hands and knees and I was praying and I didn’t stop until someone walked back in that room. I wasn’t crying, I was beyond that.”
Featuring the voices from a variety of dads, combined with a little expert input, including Sarah Ockwell Smith, the focus of this podcast is to bring together funny stories and experiences that all dads will relate to. Think, anecdotes, not answers!
Dadsnet is a community-based, award-winning digital agency that produces four other podcasts; Loose Dads, Don’t Tell Your Mum, Diffability and North South Dadvide.
Sponsored by Milton, the baby sterilising specialist, How To Be A Dad will be available on all podcast platforms and is due to launch soon.
