Episode Details

This week the guys get schooled by author, actor, comedian, teacher and now new dad Ben Knight and for once, it’s not their kids doing the teaching.

Ben reveals what teachers really mean when they write those cryptic little comments on our kids’ report cards, and shares the one thing we should actually look for if we want to know whether we’re doing a decent job as parents.

He also gives the guys a fascinating insight into what school is really like from the teacher’s perspective, although becoming a dad himself has given Ben a very different view of his students. Funny how that works.

Ben also opens up about the arrival of baby Dulcie, whose birth was anything but smooth. The experience has left him incredibly grateful for everything he has in life… and probably a little more appreciative of a full night’s sleep.

And because apparently he wasn’t busy enough being a teacher, actor, comedian and new dad, Ben has also written a kids’ book and it’s got one hell of an earworm in it.

If you’re looking for something to get stuck in your kids’ heads for the next six months, you can grab a copy here. Or follow Ben on here. 

While you're at it you can also grab a copy of Ash's new book The Secret Ingredient here.
