Rick in your ears.

In a bid to reach as many vulnerable patients as possible, Parenta-Life Coach Dr Rick has launched his own podcast. This episode of 'You Are Not Your Parents' lasts sixteen—count 'em—sixteen minutes, but lead actor Bill Glass and director Martin Granger make them fly by. For the character, it feels like a lifetime.

That's because guests Tom and Julie still struggle with parentamorphosis every day. They've come on leaps and bounds thanks to the good doctor (Julie no longer buys funny signs in homeware stores), but he still spots enough red flags to fill a whole season. Who knew how thin the line between helpful neighbour and trespasser was, eh, Tom?

No matter what Dr Rick's guests do or say, however, he somehow manages to keep the podcast on track like a professional who thinks parentamorphosis should be recognised by the medical establishment. A fine-tuned script full of podcast argot, coupled with Glass and Granger's concrete grasp of the character, makes what might have been a cursed spin-off feel worth it. If DAVID could subscribe, he would.
