Introducing this week’s guests: Dr Tom and Jump Daddy from the hit podcast ‘Dad to Me’. Dr Tom is a lecturer in Latin Literature at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. He has published books, lectured around the world, and been arrested only once for public nudity. He’s also donated s***m to a same-s*x couple and is currently navigating the meaning of being a dad, but not. Jump Daddy is a clown school drop-out who, somehow, still made it as a professional idiot. An Australian comedian, he has performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Sydney Opera House, Melbourne International Comedy festival and every single Commonwealth country. He is not a father, but he did have one for a long time. With their delightful mishmash of experience with academia, comedy, podcasting and fatherhood, we’re very interested to see where this conversation goes!
