North and South | Parents discuss their different upbringings

07/25/24 • 43 min

What influences our parenting decisions? Kicking off the first proper episode of series 3, Emma and Elliot chat about their childhoods and recap some of the differences between them - a reintroduction to them as hosts and the show, but with new stories, fails, and experiences you haven't heard before! Particularly covering Emma's upbringing on a farm (cows and sheep), northern expressions Elliot doesn't understand, and how parenting has changed since the 90s. If you're new here, then hopefully this episode is a great one to get you up to speed!
