About this listen

The madness, absurdity, and utter chaos of being a parent from the hosts of the no.1 smash hit podcast.

Read, improvised and embellished by Rob and Josh, with special guest appearances by their wives Rose and Lou, podcast producer Michael and Rob's parents Sue and Dave.

What's it really like to be a parent? And how come no one ever warned Rob or Josh of the sheer mind-bending, world-altering, sleep-depriving, sick-covering, tear-inducing, snot-wiping, bore-inspiring, 4am-relationship-straining brutality of it all? And if they did, why can't they remember it (or remember anything else, for that matter)?

And just when they thought it couldn't get any harder, why didn't anyone warn them about the slices of unmatched euphoric joy and pride that occasionally come piercing through, drenching you in unbridled happiness in much the same way a badly burped baby drenches you in milk-sick?

Join Josh and Rob as they share the challenges and madness of their parenting journeys with lashings of empathy and extra helpings of laughs. Filled with all the things they never tell you at antenatal classes, Parenting Hell is a beguiling mixture of humour, rumination and conversation for prospective parents, new parents, old parents and never-to-be parents alike.

Great to listen to. If you love the podcast you will love this too. So glad I listened to it rather then read it these guys are just so funny. I really enjoyed it and recommend to everyone.

Brilliant

So much of what they said rang true. I thought I was being a bad parent thinking that my kids could be monsters! Thankfully not all of the time. Chuckled along with them on my daily commute. Good company and an easy listen.

Laughed my balls off!

Josh and Rob at their brilliant best but here joined by wives Rose and Lou, plus their parents and Producer Michael. I’d definitely go for the audible over the book as there’s lots of the off the cuff stuff they’re so good at.

As hilarious as you’d expect if you’re a pod devotee

Everything I had hoped it would be! 🎉

This is a laugh even for those that don't have children. It also gives you insight into the lives of your friends that do.
