The Iggy Parents

After a year of weekly episodes of The Iggy Parents, we are taking a break from the podcast to focus our efforts on our YouTube and other social media channels. We still plan to bring you the good, bad and ugly of raising some iggies, but you’ll find us elsewhere on the internet for now!

As you may know from our previous announcements and podcast episode 57 - Moving Back to the City, we are moving back to Toronto!

Let’s explore our journey taking Adelaide to When Hounds Fly in Toronto and what our hopes are for Phoebe’s training in the near future.
