Welcome to Parenting Out Loud where you can be sure you're kicking off your weekend right.

Monz, Amelia and Stacey are here to unpack the week once more — through the wild, wonderful lens of parenthood.

On the show this week:


KPop Demon Hunters is smashing records. Kids love it, parents ADORE it so, what’s behind all the hype?


Tracking apps: a non-negotiable today, or are we just spying on the ones we love?


The evidence that says having kids young is a good idea. We’re not completely sold, but we are talking about it.


And Anne Hathaway: the quiet queen of gentle parenting who put the paps in their place.

Settle in — it’s the group chat you won’t want to mute.

Plus, it’s our recommendations:

🎁 Stacey recommends a 'shit bits box' to save your sanity.

🛏️ Amelia has discovered the first kids' bedtime book that she’s actually enjoyed herself.

🧇 And Monz has got a heartwarming TV show for the family to enjoy.
