The Parenting Police Hosted By Sean Szeps Joins Nova Podcasts

NOVA Entertainment has expanded the Nova Podcast Network with the launch of The Parenting Police, a brand-new Nova Podcast Original hosted by award-winning podcaster and one of the most entertaining voices in modern parenting, Sean Szeps.

The podcast marks a strategic expansion of Nova Podcasts’ parenting offering, strengthening its presence in a highly engaged category and connecting with audiences seeking practical, entertaining advice and world-class storytelling grounded in the realities of family life.

Launching on Tuesday, 8 September, The Parenting Police investigates the constant flood of toys, shows, trends and advice thrown at modern families to determine what is genuinely worth parents’ time and money, delivering practical insights with a healthy dose of humour.

Each week, Szeps will be joined by a celebrity parent to review the latest toys and parenting fads, weigh up the evidence and deliver a verdict on whether they stack up.

The series will also feature regular The Parenting Police Investigates episodes, with Szeps unpacking the everyday parenting mysteries and challenges that deserve a closer look, from the lack of veggies on kid’s menus to the products parents are told they can’t live without.

Said Sean, “As a parent, there’s a constant stream of new stuff flooding into your home: new toys, new shows, new clothes your kid saw on TikTok and now can’t live without. The Parenting Police is the show that does the research for you. We investigate the stuff, argue about it, and then hand down a final verdict. You’ll have a laugh and get the research at the same time!”

Added NOVA Entertainment’s Network Director of Nova Podcasts, Rachel Corbett, “Sean has become one of the most distinctive voices in parenting by creating content that’s genuinely unlike anything else in the space. He has an incredible instinct for what audiences will connect with and has built a hugely engaged community by consistently creating content that’s original, incredibly funny and completely its own.

“We’re excited to build The Parenting Police with him and create a show that helps parents cut through the endless noise and work out what’s actually worth their time, money and energy.”

With more than 800,000 followers across social platforms, Sean Szeps has built a loyal community of parents who turn to him for humour, honesty and practical, sanity-saving advice. He won the 2022 Australian Podcast of the Year for Come Out Wherever You Are and has previously hosted podcasts The Dad Kit and The Baby Bubble.
