What attending feels like
You can come and listen. Speaking is optional.
You do not have to perform, and you do not have to arrive with an answer.
What to expect
A podcast you can step inside: recorded reflections, two live conversations and room for your questions. The evening runs from 7–10pm.
Welcome
Arrive from 7pm, settle in and meet people. Craig and Simon welcome the room before the live podcast begins at 7:30pm.
Reflections & conversation
The planned first pair of guests share short, pre-recorded 3–5 minute reflections. Craig and Simon explore what comes up in a live conversation.
Break & part two
Pause, stretch and connect, then return for a second conversation with the next pair of guests and their recorded reflections.
Questions & connection
Ask a question, add a reflection or simply listen. We close with a personal takeaway and time to connect before the evening ends at 10pm.
A conversation worth having
Fatherhood and co-parenting can be difficult to talk about in ordinary company. Craig and Simon are hosting this evening so that conversation has a room.
It is reflection, not treatment, advice, or a promise about what changes afterwards.
Hosts
Craig Riviere. Co-founder. He hosts the conversation and keeps the tone practical and honest.
Simon Charles. Co-founder. He is a father and producer, and he shapes how the evening is held.

FAQs
Do I have to speak?
No. You can come and just listen. Speaking is optional. We encourage you to speak if you want to, because what you give can come back to you in the conversation.
Do I have to be a father to attend?
No. You do not have to be a father to attend. Fatherhood and co-parenting are the theme of this evening, and TTMT is for all men. We encourage all men to come, because perspective matters and this is a safe space for like-minded men to have a good conversation about important topics. This evening, that topic is fatherhood and co-parenting. Men and women are invited, and we especially welcome men.
Is this therapy or counselling?
No. This is conversation and reflection. It is not therapy, counselling, diagnosis, legal advice, mediation, or crisis support. In TTMT spaces, what you share stays in the room unless someone is at risk or there is a safeguarding concern. We do not promise secrecy where safety requires action. If you are in immediate danger, call 999. This page is not crisis support.
What do tickets cost, and can I get a refund?
The published ticket on Eventbrite is £15. You can also add a £5 donation on that page if you would like to help us run more evenings. Refunds are available up to 3 days before the event. Book on Eventbrite so you can check the current price, fees and refunds before you pay.
Will the evening be recorded?
Yes. The evening will be recorded. It is a live podcast, and the recording will be published on our podcast platforms. We will explain the recording before the conversation starts. If being recorded would stop you from attending, please contact us before you book.
