A 'How To Be Dad' Podcast

    Two Dud Dads - Episode Seven - We've Had A Baby! What Do We Do Now?!

    Two Dud Dads - Episode Seven - We've Had A Baby! What Do We Do Now?!

    Boogie and John Mellis are two Scottish radio DJs who've been pals since dinosaurs roamed the earth. Until now they've never actually worked with each other, and this project probably means they never will again(!), but, it remains a labour of love borne through Lockdown Fever. In this podcast they aim to become better Dads and take you on that journey too with help from our expert fathers, Garry Spence and Grant Stott, our Dude Dads, and women's health expert Becks Armstrong, who's going to help us through all the stages of pregnancy we need to know about as Dads. (Because we know what you did during Lockdown)

Copsy ,

When are you doing another season?

Really enjoyed your blabber and hope you come back for another season! Down to earth, funny and also informational. I’m due to have my first born this year and listening to your chat was great when I had the mad realisation that life is about to be very different for me! James from Manchester.

Two Dud Dads - A Review

I like the John guy, but not the Boogie one. What sort of a name is BOOGIE?!

Yours sincerely,

Eleanor Mellis, Inverness.
