In this episode of Untidy we talk to Hamish Blake, one half of the comedy podcasting duo, Hamish & Andy, host of the parenting podcast, ‘How Other Dads Dad’, host of LEGO Masters Australia, the voice of ‘Jack’s dad’ on Bluey, Cake Night masochist, husband to Zoë, and, dad to Sonny and Rudy.

Hamish’s approach to ‘dadding’ is full of presence, effort and playfulness. In this hilarious episode we learn how he developed his philosophy. (Sadly, some valuable insights from his 15-year-old self have been lost on a floppy disk, but he seems to have managed without ...) We talk about managing celebrity, lessons kept or discarded from his childhood, rituals and traditions, the moment he really understood what it is to be a dad, and the cake that nearly broke him. We loved this chat and we know you will, too!
