Tom Davis opens up about fatherhood in more candid terms than the podcast's lighter surface suggests: he has genuinely texted Rob Beckett for parenting advice on holidays, and uses the podcast as a practical resource. His four-year-old daughter has just learned the word 'fanny' and is being monitored at nursery for readiness for school.
