NewlyDads with Ollie & Gareth Locke-Locke

Double the nappies, double the night feeds, and double the love—because Ollie and Gareth are brand-new dads… to twins!

Join the Locke-Lockes every week as they dive headfirst into the beautiful chaos of fatherhood. From sleep deprivation and messy milestones to the little wins that make it all worthwhile, this is an honest, hilarious, and heartwarming look at life as first-time parents.

Along the way, they’ll be joined by brilliant guests—friends, family, experts, and fellow parents—sharing stories of solidarity, mishaps, and everything in between. No topic is off-limits: fertility journeys, same-sex parenting, relationship shifts, mental health, family dynamics, and the sheer madness of raising two babies at once.

Whether you’re expecting, a brand-new parent yourself, or just here for the laughs and honesty, NewlyDads is your weekly reminder that nobody has it figured out—but we’re all in it together.

👶 Expect:

  • Totally unfiltered chats about the highs and lows of parenting
  • Relatable family fails (and occasional wins)
  • Inspiring conversations with special guests
  • Plenty of laughs, love, and maybe a few tears

    17: It’s time to face the music! ft Bach to Baby
    Jan 30 2024

    Ollie and Gareth are back once again, with returning special guests Cosima and Apollo. After a restless night, the dads weigh up just how to hackle their lack of sleep, and think up their dream lullaby… Slipknot, it won’t be you.


    Today, the NewlyDads are talking all about music, and are joined by Miaomiao Yu, the founder of Bach to Baby, to find out how classical music could help your newborn. Ollie and Gareth learn why the classics are so important for children, and for anyone struggling to get their baby to settle, they also find out what music can help your baby fall asleep. A lifesaver!


    And they brush up on their own musical skills and dust off their recorder… brace your ears for impact.
