S1 Ep42: The Miscarriage episode: Inspired by an email to dadcast@offtheball.com, the Dad's talk miscarriage, fertility issues, booking holidays and minibreaks for the mid-term.
It turns out whenever you have a miscarriage a load of people you know will tell you they've had one too. It's like a shitty secret club you don't really want to be in, but once you're there you're glad the room is full. Nathan and Ger talk about their personal experiences and how different it can be for the Dads and Mas (is the plural of Ma really Mas?).
They also talk this week about the bits of advice they wished they'd got earlier - have your kids young and book your holidays in October/November. Plus there's a ringing endorsement for a particular family hotel in Gorey from Ger! (It's Amber Springs).

This podcast is for all the Dads and Mums who know this all too well, or indeed for anyone thinking of becoming a parent, or anyone who knows a parent. Caked in snot and puke this is the unvarnished truth of being a Dad.
Featuring the ramblings of Adrian Barry, Nathan Murphy, Dave McIntyre and Ger Gilroy, the Dadcast will examine the worst excesses of sleep deprivation, unruly toddlers, inopportune poohs and escaping from the trap of middle age spread.
