The Diary of a Dad Podcast

Episode 11: Axel Blake

My guest this week is Axel Blake, father of two, his 13 year old son from a previous relationship, and his two year old daughter that he has with his current fiancé Louise. In recent weeks he has shot to fame after being crowned as the winner Britain's Got Talent. Having known Axel through his work on the comedy circuit for over ten years, I'm immensely proud of him for this latest achievement. It was so nice to finally be able to sit down and have a chat with him about his parenthood journey so far. In the conversation, we spoke about his introduction to fatherhood and his thoughts and feelings around that time. How he tried to balance his career in comedy whilst co-parenting his young son. How he coped with the recent lockdown, and how that affected his parenting style and the lessons that he learnt. As well as his goals for the future, off the back of what is now an historic Britain's Got Talent win. This is The Diary of a Dad Podcast.

Episode 10: Tay Kabs

My guest this week is Tay Kabs. Father of three to Teija, Maliya and TJ, and husband to Chan, who are all most commonly known across social media as The Kabs Family. Like many I've been watching their hilarious video clips shared across social media for many years and started following them as they documented their family life across Snapchat, Instagram and YouTube. In our chat we spoke about how his and Chan's relationship as childhood sweethearts began, and the challenges that they faced becoming teenage parents. How he quickly adapted to his role as a new Father and what it meant to him. How he balances everyday family life alongside his social media career, and how a health scare last year has really made him think about what matters the most...This is The Diary of a Dad Podcast. Follow The Diary of a Dad: https://www.instagram.com/thediaryofadad

Episode 8: MistaJam

My guest this week is MistaJam. Alongside being a popular broadcaster, DJ, producer and song writer, he is also a father to Olivia, Benjamin and Phoebe, and husband to Clare. I've always been quietly intrigued by how he manages what is a very busy diary, alongside being a dad. We spoke about his experience growing up in the late 80's as an only child, under less than ideal circumstances. How a chance meeting with Clare sparked a friendship and blossomed into their current relationship. The personal adjustments he's had to make to be a better father. His youngest daughter's less than conventional birth story, and a lot more besides..

I've known Ses for a while now, and we often collaborate on the content you see on my instagram page, despite this, we've never sat down and had a conversation about his Fatherhood journey, until now. We discussed his upbringing, how an unusual family dynamic he discovered later in life affected his thinking on family. How some wise words from his sister was what he needed to take his responsibilities seriously, and how he manages his current parenting/co-parenting setup. Our conversation was open, honest, and emotional...
