Two Doting Dads is a podcast series that follows the parenting escapades of two good mates, Matty J and Ash Wicks. Like all good modern relationships, they met on Instagram and instantly bonded over the fact that they were both sleep-deprived Dads doing their best to dote over their two children. They share a very laid-back style to parenting, they don't pretend to be experts and they celebrate every single parenting mishap (which there are plenty). If you're listening for parenting advice, you've come to the wrong podcast.

Customer Reviews
Best podcast!
I absolutely love you and your podcast. I listen to you on the way to work and on the way home from work everyday. Can’t wait for many more episodes to come!
YES!
So excited to add this to my podcast collection! Brilliant work boys!
Came for Matt, stayed for Ash
I’m mostly joking. I started listening as I enjoyed hearing Matt’s side of Laura’s anecdotes in Life Uncut, but now just love the podcast in its own right. Thanks for helping me see the funny side of the wild ride that is parenting!
