This week we’re joined by Australian kids’ music royalty: Peter Combe.

Yes — that Peter Combe.

The man responsible for Wash Your Face, Juicy Juicy Green Grass, Spaghetti Bolognese… and basically half of our collective childhoods.

What starts as a joyful trip down memory lane quickly turns into something much deeper. We talk silliness, songwriting, keeping childhood alive, grandparent traditions, anti-establishment kids’ music, why Tadpole Blues is not about puberty (sorry Alex), and the unexpected, life-changing power of music.

There’s belly-flopping into pizzas, ruined Spotify algorithms, birthday poems, kids wearing socks in the bath, and a reminder that humour isn’t just funny, it’s essential.

Alex has two kids. Scott would like some.

Together, they’re figuring out parenting one questionable decision at a time.

My Friend Had a Baby is the podcast where two mates explore what it really takes to make and raise tiny humans, from a dad’s point of view. With a mix of personal stories, real-time learning, and expert guests who actually know what they're talking about, you’ll get honest insights into pregnancy, birth, and parenting… without taking any of it too seriously.

Funny, thoughtful, and surprisingly informative, this show is for dads, mums, parents-to-be, or anyone who’s ever met a baby and wondered, “How do people do this?”
