For Parents
This podcast started in December 2021and is about finding the sweet spot between the textbooks and real life when it comes to parenting. Dr Billy (a developmental paediatrician) and Nick (a developing parent) are a couple of dads having honest discussions about parenting day to day. They use iconic TV and cinema scenes from the 80's & 90's to give context to Billy's parenting advice.
