Dad's First Words

This is the stuff no one tells you about becoming a dad — until now.

Most parenting podcasts kick off once the kids are walking and talking. This one’s for the dads who are still staring down the birth, wondering what the hell’s coming.

Dad’s First Words is a real, unfiltered series of conversations with new fathers — many fresh off a home birth — sharing what actually went down. From the lead-up and the labour to those blurry, chaotic first weeks, we cover the full story. How did they support their partner? What did they wish they’d known? Did they sleep? Do they still see their mates? Can they do anything they used to do?

These are casual chats between blokes. But it's honest. These are the gritty, detailed and often funny stories that every expecting dad should hear — so you know you’re not alone, and you’re better prepared for what’s ahead.
