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.

    #238 Jackson Wray: The Dad Every Parent Can Learn From

    We've had plenty of parenting experts on the podcast lately and while we've loved every bit of advice they've shared, today's guest brings something just as valuable. Jackson Wray isn't a doctor or parenting guru. But he's an expert in showing up every day for his daughter, Frankie. Frankie is four years old and lives with severe cerebral palsy, blindness and epilepsy. While many might expect Jackson's story to be one of heartbreak, it's actually one filled with love, gratitude and positivity. Together with his wife Alex, Jackson shares glimpses into their family's life, and it's impossible not to be inspired by Frankie's determination and joy. She continues to prove that her diagnosis doesn't define what's possible. This conversation is full of perspective, hope and a reminder of what really matters in parenting. We hope you love it as much as we did. It's one that will stay with you long after it ends. If you'd like to follow Jackson, Alex & Frankie's story you can do so here.  If you'd like to buy a Frankie t-shirt to support a charity that helps her you can get them here.

    #237 We Didn't Sign Up For Homework

    The boys are getting sentimental this week - after three years of recording everywhere from kitchen tables to borrowed spaces, they're finally settling into their very own podcast studio and enjoying the fruits of their labour. Ash shares the full, gruesome story behind his recent tooth extraction and how he narrowly escaped the clutches of the "tooth salesman". While, Matty is deep in the trenches of solo parenting, battling exhaustion, endless responsibilities, and two daughters who have somehow negotiated permanent residency in his bed. Plus, the songs that made us cry, the unexpected tracks that hit us right in the feels and a debate every parent can relate to: should we already be pushing our kids to do homework or should it stay within school hours?

    #236 Footy Before Fatherhood?

    It's another Housekeeping episode and the boys are tackling one of parenting's toughest questions: should footy ever come before fatherhood? Matty reveals he's been flying solo while Laura and Nanna are away, so Vic suggests a little "tandem parenting" to help get through the chaos. Meanwhile, Ash's snack monster tendencies strike again, this time putting Oscar's birthday lolly bags in serious jeopardy. Plus, the boys weigh in on the latest breaking news from the pram parking front.

    #235 Cock-blocked By A Toothache

    Ash is having a rough week. Not only is he battling a toothache, but it also cost him a shot at some much-needed romance. He's also got an all-time "poonami" story after literally following his nose to discover one of his kids was hiding a nasty surprise. Meanwhile, Matt is flying solo on parenting duties and soaking up all the praise, while testing what he believes is a groundbreaking parenting hack - strategically offloading his kids onto families they meet at the park. Plus, the boys go head-to-head on a parenting debate that divides plenty of families: is it actually good for kids to sleep in your bed? And more smart parenting hacks from the Doters who really are some of the smartest parents going around.  Consider yourself a smart shopper?

    #234 The Silent Struggle Of Dads with Dr Zac

    This Men's Health Week (from June 15), we're turning the spotlight onto dads. Because when's the last time you asked a new father how he's really doing? Findings from Movember's More Than A Provider report reveal that 1 in 5 dads feel more isolated or lonely since having kids. The study also found that fathers are 2–3 times more likely to experience mental health challenges than the average man. In this episode, the boys sit down with Dr Zac Seidler — a clinical psychologist, leading men's mental health researcher, and new dad himself — to unpack what men are really going through behind closed doors. The conversation explores the identity shift that comes with fatherhood, the challenges many dads face in staying connected, and why simple things like sport, friendship and community can have such a profound impact on men's wellbeing, relationships and longevity. It’s a raw, honest and incredibly important chat that every parent (mum or dad) can take something from. A huge thank you to Movember for the incredible work they do supporting men's health and for helping make this important conversation possible. If you're struggling and need to speak with someone immediately, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467. If you're ever worried that someone's life is in immediate danger, call 000 or go directly to emergency services.

    #233 Call Me Baby

    This week the boys are divided over pet names - Ash says they’re pure ick, while Matt’s fully committed to the cringe. Then things escalate when Ash roasts the way Matt talks to his kids… until Matt produces actual evidence of Ash using a very different voice with Macy. Hypocrite or justified baby chat? We’ll let the Doters decide. Matt and Ash went head-to-head in a fierce battle for tickets to State of Origin Game 2 in Melbourne. You'll have to listen to find out who came out on top. If you want to join the boys at the game, grab your tickets here. Plus the Doters deliver more elite parenting hacks including why ice blocks for breakfast might actually be genius.

    #232 The Toy That Finally Broke Us

    We’re back with another housekeeping ep and the boys are ripping through the to-do list this week — from parenting lies and par-rants to a couple of doter dilemmas thrown in for good measure. The guys unpack the backlash around “new baby on board” commuter badges… and let’s just say they’ve got thoughts. They also launch an investigation into the most spirit-breaking kids toys ever invented - particularly the ones lovingly gifted by certain mothers-in-law.  Matty reflects on his early newborn days and the loneliness that can hit when there’s no dads group or village to lean on. Plus there’s another birthday party etiquette drama and this time Ash has had to call it in to April which lands him in more hot water. As always: plenty of enthusiasm, very little advice.

    #231 Parenting Hacks & Horrors - Two Doting Dads

    This week, we're laying all our worst habits on the table. From snoring to bath-time dinners and a comment that quickly veered into dangerous territory, the boys aren't exactly covering themselves in glory.  Add in a stressful studio fit-out and a few petty squabbles and things are getting a little tense. Meanwhile, Nanna's battling a mountain of washing thanks to the endless rain, while Ash puts his secret first-aid skills to the test after Macy takes a tumble. Plus, one of the smartest breakfast parenting hacks we've heard in ages. Consider yourself a smart shopper?
