Two Dud Dads

<p>Boogie and John Mellis are two friends and radio hosts from Scotland. They're also Dads, but they're not very good at it! In this podcast, they explain, (often in excruciating detail) where they've gone wrong over the years as fathers, and seek expert input so you don't make the same mistakes they did! It's a 'How To Be Dad Podcast' in the least conventional way, but we promise, it all turns out fine in the end.</p><br><p>Probably.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Two Dud Dads - Episode Zero

Hello! This is a little bit secret right now, so don't tell anyone. Or tell them, but then kill them afterwards. "Two Dud Dads" is a 'How To Be Dad' podcast starring Boogie and John Mellis, two mates who met through working at the same radio station, Northsound, in Aberdeen over twenty years ago. Despite being pals all that time, they've never actually worked together on the same show, so this is the first, and most likely last time that will ever happen.Boogie is Dad to Emilia (4), and John's kids are Josh (13), and Gracie (10).Through this podcast their aim is to take you through where they've messed up at being Dads in the hope you can learn from their mistakes, avoid making them, and become a better parent yourself because of it. It's ideal whether you're a first time parent, or have a few years on the clock and the wrinkles to show for it.In this Episode Zero, we discuss what the show will be and who we want to chat to on a regular basis, so there's at least some expert content and something worthwhile to take away from every episode.We aim to have a few laughs, but help you out too, because at the end of the day, you come home from the shop with a TV and a 1500 page manual on how to operate and maintain it, yet leave the hospital with a baby and nothing but good wishes!
