Best bits: Hamish Blake – “It’s just the time when your world mattered.”

In this mini-episode of Untidy, Matty and Hannah share highlights from their chat with podcaster, presenter and comedian, Hamish Blake. This Best Bits episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered what their kids will actually remember about growing up, and hope it’s the good stuff!

Hamish talks about presence, rituals, and why parenting isn’t about the activity, the advice, or getting it “right” but about showing up so your child feels like their world matters. From shared rituals and side-by-side time, to letting kids lead and playing the long game so they come to you later when it really counts, this conversation is warm, funny, and casually profound.
