#270 Maggie Dent: Are We Getting Parenting Wrong?!

October 18, 2026 · 1 h 21 min

Show notes

The queen of common sense, Maggie Dent, is here to sort out the guys’ parenting problems with all the charm and wisdom we know and love about her.

From schoolyard friendships to why presence beats presents, Maggie dishes out some much-needed perspective on the little moments that make you a good dad (even when you’re fairly certain you’re stuffing it up).

Then she turns the tables and puts the guys in the hot seat to examine their own parenting. Needless to say, Matt gets emotional, Ash is left speechless, and the boys realise this little podcast they started for fun has become something far more meaningful than they ever could have imagined.

Part parenting masterclass, part therapy session, this one will make you laugh, cry and possibly feel better about your own parenting. All thanks to the wonderful Maggie Dent.
