Description

Welcome back to the final episode of WDIG for this year, and we are ending with a BIG one as I sit down with the author, activist, podcaster and all round legend that is: Elliott Rae.


As the visionary behind Parenting Out Loud, the bestselling book DAD, and the groundbreaking BBC documentary Becoming Dad, Elliott has forced the UK to confront a glaring blind spot: Dads are parents too, and it’s time workplaces, media, and society treated them that way.


Elliott’s work is dismantling outdated stereotypes, pushing employers to create truly inclusive cultures, and giving dads permission to show up as their full selves…without apology.


His Parenting Out Loud campaign has become a blueprint for workplace equity, his documentary Becoming Dad sparked a national reckoning, and his book DAD has given voice to a generation of fathers who’ve felt invisible for too long.


In this episode, we’ll explore:



  • How Elliott turned his personal journey into a movement, and why Parenting Out Loud is now the gold standard for supporting working dads.

  • The workplace revolution: What it really takes to build cultures where dads get to parent loudly and proudly

  • What’s next for fatherhood in the UK, ****and how you can be part of the change.


If you’ve ever wondered why dads are still treated as an afterthought, or how to fix it, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.
