The Modern Mann

PLAYBACK: How To Be A Dad, part 1

The Modern Mann

Show Notes

Scratch mittens, strained relationships and GP-sanctioned fingering

Nine years ago, comedians Stuart Goldsmith and Tom Price joined Olly to discuss their impending fatherhood. What impact will it have on their respective relationships? Why does society appear to offer such a lack of support to men embarking upon their first baby? Do men need to know about the mucus plug? They discuss all this, plus some bad taste jokes, with little understanding of what was in store for them over the next nine years... which makes this the perfect accompaniment to our latest episode, How To Be A Dad, Part 10. 🍷 This episode is sponsored by Wine52, bringing beautiful wines from around the world to your door.
