About this listen

 Now the Kids Are in Bed is what happens when two Brighton-based DJs, promoters, and producers finally get a moment to breathe… and overshare. Married with three kids and a chaotic life full of loud thoughts, smashed lamps, and half-eaten carrots, this is the unfiltered conversation that kicks off once the house goes quiet. Join us each week as we talk parenting, ADHD, relationships, music, and all the weird bits in between — from rants about the school run to how we got into dance music in the first place. No experts, no script, just real talk (and the occasional swear)Matt Pook

    Welcome to Now The Kids Are In Bed – the podcast where married DJs and music producers POoK & Lola finally get a chance to catch up on life… once the chaos of parenting dies down for the night.


    In Episode 3, we dive into:


    – 🏳️‍🌈 Gearing up for a massive Brighton Pride weekend – loads of gigs, events, and general carnage

    – 🎧 Some stories from last weekend’s adventures – including a gig or two and the usual mayhem

    – 🧠 Lola’s latest ADHD tales, featuring the most ADHD thing she’s done all week

    – 🍜 A deep-ish dive into food hyperfixations – including the emotional downfall of chicken chow mein

    – 🫙 And her ongoing struggle to keep literal lids on anything (bottles, jars… sanity)


    We also answer a couple of listener questions (keep them coming!) and chat about the joys and chaos of juggling family, music, neurodiversity, and staying vaguely sane.


    New episodes drop weekly-ish. It’s raw, real, occasionally ridiculous – and if you’ve ever felt like life only really starts once the house is quiet and the wine is poured, this one’s for you.

    Episode 2 – TikTok Chaos, ADHD Buttons & Buffet Crimes


    We’re back with episode two of Now the Kids Are in Bed – still very new to this whole podcasting thing, and it shows. For reasons we can’t fully explain, we attempted to go live on TikTok… which ended in a chaotic split-screen with two young Indian lads who were definitely not expecting to chat to a pair of tired parents. Safe to say, that didn’t last long.


    This week we chat about what we’ve got coming up over the weekend, and dive into some of your messages. One listener asked: If you could press a button to switch off your ADHD, would you? That sparked a big chat about identity, personality, and whether treatment is worth it if it means losing a bit of what makes you you – even if it does help quiet the chaos.


    We also read some more listener emails, including one about irrational pet hates – which led us into a proper rant about buffet etiquette (you’d be surprised how deep that one goes). And there was a would-you-rather so grim we didn’t really want to touch it.


    Got something to say? We want to hear from you! Drop us an email at nowthekidsareinbed@gmail.com or leave a comment on our socials (we’ll tag them when we share the episode).


    If you’re enjoying the pod, give us a 5-star rating, leave a quick review, and share it with someone who might need a break from their own chaos. We’re just getting going, and every little bit helps!
