Thanks so much for coming to check out Episode 2 of The New Family Podcast!

In this episode I talk with journalist and dad Mike Wallberg about his experience taking a year off work to look after his daughter, and his research on the barriers dads face as primary caregivers.

Now back to what this interview is all about. Mike and I delve into the weird reactions dads get when they try to join playgroups, the pioneering they’ve got to do in the workplace, and what it would take to level the playing field so more men can be the dads they want to be.

Here are some great resources related to my discussion with Mike.
