  • 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    I love this podcast. I only started listening this year and I’m already deep into the back catalogue.

    As a child psychologist, I really appreciate the thoughtful reflections, honesty and humour that Dr Billy and Dr Nick bring to every episode. They’ve somehow influenced both my professional thinking and my movie watchlist.

    I’ve recommended the podcast to heaps of friends, many of whom don’t have kids either. Loved the Melbourne live show too. A very easy 5 stars.

  • Learnt so much!

    This podcast has helped me be such a better parent. From connecting with my kids, regulating tricky emotions, picking up on cues early, and understanding dirge diversity of kids, it’s taught me practical things I have applied. And the boys have a good laugh along the way.

  • Poor quality & presentation

    The content once you get to it is useful & valuable, but the production value is poor, there is so much laughing and mumbled commentary.

    It’s quite jarring to listen to. Shame as the quality of the advice is good
