  • Two Dud Dads - Episode Seven - We've Had A Baby! What Do We Do Now?!
    Nov 23 2020

    Boogie and John Mellis are two Scottish radio DJs who've been pals since dinosaurs roamed the earth. Until now they've never actually worked with each other, and this project probably means they never will again(!), but, it remains a labour of love borne through Lockdown Fever. In this podcast they aim to become better Dads and take you on that journey too with help from our expert fathers, Garry Spence and Grant Stott, our Dude Dads, and women's health expert Becks Armstrong, who's going to help us through all the stages of pregnancy we need to know about as Dads. (Because we know what you did during Lockdown)
