Any dad will tell you, it's the best day of your life. The beginning of a new life.
For journalist Mike Wesley-Smith, the arrival of daughter Evelyn Rose heralded the start of a new life - no longer as woman and man, now as woman, man and child.
Man-Child is a new podcast from Newshub exploring Mike's dive into fatherhood. From the protests to the nervous negotiations to the unexpected insights and the moments that make it all worth it.
