What are famous Australians like as parents? It doesn’t matter if you’ve sold out a massive arena, been named Australian of the Year, or stepped onto Centre Court at Wimbledon. As a parent, you’ve still got to wipe bums. You still feel judged when your kid bites another kid at day care. And you still lie about how often you let them watch the iPad.

Join comedian and mother-of-two Terri Psiakis as she noses her way into the parenting lives of high profile Australians; uncovering the secrets, challenges, and exquisite triumphs of bringing up humans.

Great, just stop the sound effects!

The conversations are really entertaining, so there's really no use for those lame sound effects to be added on top.

Excellent Podcast Series

It’s great to hear how well-known people find their roles as parents. It’s very informative and interesting to hear how they face the challenges and enjoy the triumphs with their children and partner.
Definitely recommend the episode with Tom Gleeson, which reveals his “other side” as a loving parent and husband.

What a relief!

A great podcast, with really interesting people, who show how normal it is to make parenting up as you go along. Especially enjoyable to listen to Cal & Lawrence. Thankyou!
