Two Doting Dads is a podcast series that follows the parenting escapades of two good mates, Matty J and Ash Wicks. Like all good modern relationships, they met on Instagram and instantly bonded over the fact that they were both sleep-deprived Dads doing their best to dote over their two children. They share a very laid-back style to parenting, they don't pretend to be experts and they celebrate every single parenting mishap (which there are plenty). If you're listening for parenting advice, you've come to the wrong podcast.2026 Matty J & Ash Parenting & Families Relationships

  • #238 Jackson Wray: The Dad Every Parent Can Learn From
    Jun 28 2026

    We've had plenty of parenting experts on the podcast lately and while we've loved every bit of advice they've shared, today's guest brings something just as valuable.

    Jackson Wray isn't a doctor or parenting guru. But he's an expert in showing up every day for his daughter, Frankie.

    Frankie is four years old and lives with severe cerebral palsy, blindness and epilepsy. While many might expect Jackson's story to be one of heartbreak, it's actually one filled with love, gratitude and positivity.

    Together with his wife Alex, Jackson shares glimpses into their family's life, and it's impossible not to be inspired by Frankie's determination and joy. She continues to prove that her diagnosis doesn't define what's possible.

    This conversation is full of perspective, hope and a reminder of what really matters in parenting. We hope you love it as much as we did.

    It's one that will stay with you long after it ends.

    If you'd like to follow Jackson, Alex & Frankie's story you can do so here.

  • #237 We Didn't Sign Up For Homework
    Jun 23 2026

    The boys are getting sentimental this week - after three years of recording everywhere from kitchen tables to borrowed spaces, they're finally settling into their very own podcast studio and enjoying the fruits of their labour.

    Ash shares the full, gruesome story behind his recent tooth extraction and how he narrowly escaped the clutches of the "tooth salesman".

    While, Matty is deep in the trenches of solo parenting, battling exhaustion, endless responsibilities, and two daughters who have somehow negotiated permanent residency in his bed.

    Plus, the songs that made us cry, the unexpected tracks that hit us right in the feels and a debate every parent can relate to: should we already be pushing our kids to do homework or should it stay within school hours?

  • #236 Footy Before Fatherhood?
    Jun 21 2026

    It's another Housekeeping episode and the boys are tackling one of parenting's toughest questions: should footy ever come before fatherhood?

    Matty reveals he's been flying solo while Laura and Nanna are away, so Vic suggests a little "tandem parenting" to help get through the chaos.

    Meanwhile, Ash's snack monster tendencies strike again, this time putting Oscar's birthday lolly bags in serious jeopardy.

    Plus, the boys weigh in on the latest breaking news from the pram parking front.
