Ep2: Fish breath, evolution, Dad's cold and Martha's survival tips!

Martha and Dad tackle the difficult second episode.  It's slightly less rambly than the first but it's still far from professional, as Martha helpfully points out.  On a plus point, we're recording in her bedroom with two mics this week, but not a pop shield because it got delivered over the road.We may not have Billie Eilish as a guest this week, but we do have a rabbit update, Martha's take on what would happen if we had a total power failure (Dad has been watching Cobra), why it's acceptable to magpie creative ideas (but not to steal them), and why offering hot chocolate and comfy cushions at school has led to a breakdown in mindfulness etiquette.  Martha also tackles some Q and A from the 20 people to follow us on Twitter and offers her impression of Donald Trump reading Dr Seuss.  Thanks for subscribing, and do remember to follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for behind the scenes photos and to throw us any questions for future episodes!  We're still not on Tik Tok and if Dad has his way, that's the way it's going to stay.Twitter: https://twitter.com/thesmythespodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheSmythesPodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheSmythesPod

Dad (Neil, 49) and daughter (Martha, 11, but 10 when we started!) talk family, feelings and dead fish. Dad wanted to put football as the last f but clearly he's not in charge. What do a middle-aged man and a pre-teen girl have in common, how are they feeling about school, work and life, and most importantly will mum or Billie Eilish be our next guest? One thing is for sure, we've got an interesting few years ahead of us, so join us on our journey! On a serious level, this is an experiment in boosting a child's self-confidence, working through feelings and navigating the modern world, seen from two very different perspectives. Our targets are: 1 - make Mum smile on her commute...at least once a week 2 - boost Martha's self-confidence as she approaches High School 3 - allow Martha to get experience in her (current) dream career as a radio DJ 4 - get Billie Eilish to appear as a guest. Simple, right?
