Season 2 Episode 5: Tahmima Anam And Scary Dads

Season 2 Episode 5: Tahmima Anam And Scary Dads

This week I talk to the incredible author Tahmima Anam. Tahmima is the author of four novels. Her most recent one, The Startup Wife, is a hilarious skewering of the sexism of the tech industry. It follows Asha Ray, the inventor of a new utopian app, who soon finds herself sidelined in her own work, and starts to wonder why. Tahmima is such a lovely, funny, brilliant warm person to talk to. We talk about letting our kids use tablets, if they understand what we do for a living and the tech industry’s problem with women. It’s a great fun chat.


This is a podcast about parenting. It asks the question how do we raise our kids to be joyful in bleak times that make us so sad and angry. Each week, I invite a parent on to chat to me about their parenting journeys, how they’re navigating these tricky times with their kids, how to have big important conversations and how to still have fun and enjoy the world. This is a hopeful podcast about parenting. It’s inspired by my memoir, Brown Baby: A Memoir Of Race Family And Home, which has been out since February this year. I hope you have a copy.
