Need2Breed‪?‬ Cressida Wetton

Comedian Dylan Dodds and his wife always imagined they would be parents one day. They couldn’t have known it would happen during a global pandemic.... There’s a happy ending though.

In their mid forties Aaron and Stephanie Levene reflect on their options. Life is beautiful and they know that a natural conception isn't possible so it's too late to have a family, right? Maybe.

Chris has "been on a bit of a journey" regarding parenthood. In this poignant episode he talks about relationships, fulfilment, legacy and loss.

At 86 Lynn-Ruth Miller is the oldest stand-up comedian in the world. In this episode she talks about the huge changes in family planning since the 1950s, fear of childbirth, and the freedom she enjoys as a single, childless woman. Her new book 'Getting the Last Laugh: The Inspirational True Story of the World's Oldest Performing Comedienne'

Like me, comedian Maria Shehata hasn't been overwhelmed by the 'Need2Breed'. Unlike me, she's clear minded & settled on this. We talk about selfishness, the luxury of not having a family and how oddly, she still makes a mental note of good baby names.

Comedian and journalist Ben Clover is a Dad of two so he's well versed in bending down to pick things up, smashing bedtime and the never ending journey towards emotional maturity that is parenthood.
