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.

Oscar has learnt a new phrase except he doesn't realise how rude he is!
Matt treats Laura to the highly coveted parent sleep-in but reckons she's getting way more sleep than she thinks. Daddy J also has a new hack to convince Lola to love him and we're not sure how long he can keep up this new hack...

#64 BONUS Doting Mum Kat Clark
Kat Clark is truly a force to be reckoned with.
With a platform boasting millions of followers across social media and a thriving skincare business, Kaladé, which she co-runs with her daughters Latisha and Deja.
After falling pregnant at the young age of 17, Kat found herself in an abusive relationship, disconnected from her family on an island north of Queensland.
Thankfully, she was able to escape her situation, start her life anew, and rebuild it to what it is today.
We're immensely grateful to Kat for bravely sharing her story, and we encourage our dads to speak out about violence against women.

Customer Reviews
Laugh out loud & will make your day a happier one!
I’m a mum from the UK and I look forward to listening to these two every week! They are so funny and I love their honesty about parenting. I laugh out loud when I listen and love the chemistry between them.
Binge Worthy
Once finding out that I was going to become a dad, I found this podcast to listen to for advice. My partner was so proud that I'd found a podcast that I could relate and learn from, showing a willing to learn how to become a great father. After managing to binge listen to all content over the past month or so, I feel like I'm no closer prepared for the birth of my first come February, it's fantastic!! I've reached a point where I'm waiting for each week's episode and I can't wait to listen along whilst sitting on the toilet, whilst my wife deals with our newborn. Keep up the good work guys! Cameron - UK
Very funny but also some valuable tips
Has me laughing away, very relatable content for parents going through the toddler phase or out of it (lucky things!). Also had some tips in there that have worked a treat! Tell your child you are going for a poo and they will leave you in peace and not question what you are doing… thought that would never work but it did
