Amy Huberman to host new parenting podcast

Award-winning actress and best-selling author Amy Huberman has been announced as the host of Aldi’s new podcast series 'Mamia & Me'.

Over the next year, Amy will host 12 podcast episodes about the big, often terrifying adventures of parenthood. Amy will be chatting with sleep deprived parents, people involved in childcare as well as some really special guest friends! ‘Mamia & Me’ will discuss everything from Lockdown Parenting to Juggling work and parenting, to surrogacy, home births, baby brain, me-time to list but a few.

Guests for the first few podcasts will include dad Mark Feehily from Westlife, Suzanne Kane broadcaster and mother of three, who gave birth to her third child in the middle of lockdown and David O’Doherty; best-selling children’s author.

Aldi is looking for people to share their parenting experiences with Amy on the podcast. From the good the bad and everything in between. Visit www.aldi.ie/mamia to find out more about being part of this podcast.

Amy Huberman, host of the ‘Mamia & Me’ commented: “I’m really looking forward to chatting to some great people about their experiences and discussing some really interesting topics over the next 12 months! I might even get some cheat notes for myself along the way! When the Mamia team from Aldi approached me to host, my main concern was could I stay awake long enough to record 12 podcast episodes – hand me a bucket of coffee please. And a comb, if I get that far.

"But sure I have the perfect look for sound-only podcasting right now! We want the podcast to be a safe space, no judgments, and “if you don’t laugh you’ll cry” shared conversation. And if we can, along the way, help some parents out, maybe even making those who feel isolated especially during these very strange times realise that they are not alone, well then that will be a great start!”

The Mamia & Me podcast, hosted by Amy Huberman, will be available on Spotify, Google Play, SoundCloud and iTunes from Monday, June 7th.
