Talking Cod: a survivor’s guide to middle age

In the latest episode of Talking Cod, we welcome back an esteemed guest and newly minted father, Jindy Mann of Leader Brother Son.

Join us as we delve into the transformative journey of becoming a dad, share our cherished memories, and reflect on fatherhood's invaluable lessons.

Becoming a father is a rite of passage, filled with emotions, unexpected challenges, moments of pure joy, and - occasionally - Beef Hula Hoops...

Phil, Dave, Andy, and Jindy dive deep into this vast ocean of experiences in a heartfelt chat about what it truly means to be a dad. There are tears.

What is Talking Cod: a survivor’s guide to middle age?

Three northern blokes talk about midlife and growing old disgracefully: the kind of things you want to say, but rarely ever do.

Hosts David Eccles, Phil Birchenall and Andy Hall explore how confronting life head-on - with all the crap it throws your way - makes you stronger, older, bolder and, of course, that little bit wiser.

We’ll share our own experiences and talk to friends about life’s ups and downs, what’s worked, and what definitely didn’t.


Frank, fearless, funny. Talking Cod.
