About the show

The How To Be A Dad Podcast is the world’s 1st podcast that accompanies a dad’s journey through fatherhood; from the initial moment that he finds out he’s going to be a father to their 1st birthday. The series is hosted by Al Booth, who has spent about half his life working as a radio presenter and is known for his chatty interview style. His Yorkshire accent is the perfect blend of soothing reassurance that calms down any worried new dad, as much as anything can at least! And having two young children himself he is still in the learning stages of being a father! And will be for the next 75 years of his life ahead. Al speaks to a myriad of dads from all walks of life to gather vital experiences & stories that might, just might help someone else. The key aspect of this podcast is to bring together funny stories and experiences that many dads go through. This isn’t a place to get answers, just helpful anecdotes that might just help prepare you for what your embarking on. Join us as we experience the ups and downs of the baby’s first 12 months, from the sleepless nights, to the excitement of first steps and words.
