Ep 26. The horse we Rode in on

Ep 26. The horse we Rode in on

A huge thank you to Rode and the new equipment that we have. We must point out that the sound issue is down to a cheap SD card that corrupted and we had to use the video audio rather than the microphone audio for that section.


The Do Dads are back after a few months off with so much to talk about. They may have forgotten how to joke but they do discuss the stuff they've been up to, preparing for Christmas and a parenting dilemma or two


This is our first video podcast so let us know if you like the format or if you would prefer a different edit.
