Daddy and The Dunce
Daddy and The Dunce
Ashley Foote & Mark Williamson
Daddy and The Dunce is a podcast that goes through the trials and tribulations of being a Dad. Each episode Ash and Mark will look at some of the hottest topics (or old faithfuls) in parenting and dissect them from the perspective of a Dad, and an Uncle. Ashley has two boys and after the first thought he was a bit of an expert. It wasn't until his second child came along 6 weeks early, and with a range of heart and kidney disabilities did he realise how easy he actually had it. Mark has no children. He does however have nieces and nephews. But he also hasn't been parent-broken yet, so things like poo and kids putting random things in their mouth and then your own is still a little foreign. The different perspectives the two have will probably be poles apart at times, but willalso mean you will be able to relate to at least one of them on most things! At least one Dad Joke per episode guaranteed...
19. Grug and The Pokemon Card

2. Sweetheart Day 2021
Every day, 8 children in Australia are born with some form of Congenital Heart Defect. February is Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) awareness month, so in this bonus episode, Ashley goes through his very personal journey of being a Dad to a HeartKid and all the ups and downs that this involves. From the moment they learnt of his son’s Heart Problems, from a less than subtle doctor, right through to the constant feeling of anxiety and being on edge about the most mundane everyday things.
